In its original Basque, the name traces back to the word exaberri, for "new house." 2) The name "ceština", Czech, is derived from a Slavic tribe of Czechs ("Cech", pl. "Ceši") that inhabited Central Bohemia and united neighbouring Slavic tribes under the reign of the Premyslid dynasty ("Premyslovci"). According to a legend, it is derived from the Forefather Cech, who brought the tribe of Czechs into its land. The variant English name "Bohemian" was used until the late 19th century, reflecting the original English name of the Czech state derived from the Celtic tribe of Boii who inhabited the area since the 4th century BCE. 3) In current times Kyšice (Kladno District) is a village and municipality in Kladno District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. ______________________________ Bohemia: The Kingdom of Bohemia (Czech: Èeské království; German: Königreich Böhmen; Latin: Regnum Bohemiae) was a country located in the region of Bohemia in Central Europe, most of whose territory is currently located in the modern-day Czech Republic. The Kingdom was part of the Holy Roman Empire until its dissolution in 1806, whereupon it became part of the Austrian Empire, and subsequently the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1867. Following the defeat of the Central Powers in World War I (1918), both the Kingdom and the Empire were dissolved and Bohemia became part of the newly formed Czechoslovak Republic, a federation of Czechs (Bohemia and Moravia) and Slovaks with capital in Prague
