Lichnov (German: Lichnau) is a municipality and village in Nový Jičín District in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,600 inhabitants.
Etymology
The village was originally named Lichtenau ("light meadow") in German, the name referring to a light-filled place in dense vegetation. The name was first translated into Czech (documents from the 16th century) in the form Lichtnov. From the 18th century onwards, the shortened form Lichnau was used in German, which led to the change of the Czech name to Lichnov. [2]
History
Lichnov was founded in 1293.[3]
