1985The paper is based on the most recent results of the archaeological and engineering-geological research in particular. The author presents a hypothesis which is based on the interpretation of the name Praha (Prague), essentially founded geomorphologically. The name Praha in its general form indicates elevations (prahy - rapids) near water courses or swamps in places where (primeval) ways crossed them. These elevations, safe from floods - along rivers called terraces - could become the place of later market places and thus be responsible for the origin of towns, as is the case of Praha, the capital of Czechoslovakia
