Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Myth No. 1: Czechia is an unknown and possibly grammatically incorrect short name for the Czech Republic. Czechia is rarely used in English because native English speakers do not like to use it. 
  
 Fact: In 1993, Czechia [tʃɛkiə] was officially standardized as the English translation of Česko (the short name of the Czech Republic in Czech) by the Terminological Committee of the Czech Office for Surveying, Mapping and Cadaster. Since 2016, after being approved by the Czech government as the official short name of the Czech Republic in English, Czechia has been listed in the United Nations´ databases of official country names “UNTERM” and “UNGEGN” as the official and internationally recognized short name of the Czech Republic. It has been included in the ISO database, the U.S. Department of State database of countries, and CIA’s World Factbook. It is used by Google Maps and is making its way into various atlases, such as the Times Atlas of the World and atlases of the Oxford University Press. Although the use of Czechia continues to grow, it has not, up until recently, been well known around the world because the Czech state and its institutions have not used it systematically. The spread of Czechia will take time since people and institutions have to become familiar with it and get used to it as they did with Czechoslovakia, a much more difficult word to pronounce and spell, one hundred years ago. ||||| Foreign minister Lubomir Zaoralek told reporters the government decided to take action because ‘there have been distortions and misspellings’ 
  
 Czech Republic officials say country would like to be called 'Czechia' instead 
  
 When citizens of the Czech Republic awake on Friday morning – perhaps from uneasy dreams – they are likely to find that things have changed. 
  
 But unlike the bodily transformations undergone by Gregor Samsa, the protagonist in Czech novelist Franz Kafka’s best-known work, they may be about to witness a metamorphosis of national magnitude. 
  
 Czech leaders, fed up with their country’s long and complicated full name, have proposed changing it to a single word with just three syllables: Czechia. 
  
  
  
 In a joint statement, the president, prime minister and other senior officials said they would ask the UN to update its database of geographical names with the new title, in the hope that it might take root before the country competes in the Olympics this summer. 
  
  
  
 “We recommend using the single-word name in foreign languages in situations when it’s not necessary to use the country’s formal name: sports events, marketing purposes etc,” the statement said. 
  
  
  
 The foreign minister, Lubomir Zaoralek, told reporters the government decided on the change because “there have been distortions and misspellings” in the past. 
  
  
  
 Although some Czech Republic sporting teams have long been referred to with a single word, Czech (the national ice hockey team have the word emblazoned on their jerseys), this variant – along with others including “Czechlands” and “Bohemia” – were seemingly overlooked by officials. 
  
  
  
 A new myth-busting website called Go Czechia assures readers that the name is not a neologism, and was in fact first uttered in Latin back in 1634 (its first English use came in 1841).

 The website contends that the western part of Czechoslovakia was frequently referred to as “Czechia” in US newspapers following the birth of the nation in 1918, in the wake of the collapse of Austria-Hungary at the end of the first world war. 
  
  
  
 The Czech Republic is a successor state to former Czechoslovakia following a peaceful split with Slovakia in 1993. 
  
  
  
 The website also argues that comparisons with the US and the UK – both countries with longer, two-worded titles – are invalid, as “the Czech Republic is much less known than the United States and the United Kingdom around the world and, unlike the USA and the UK, it does not have a well-known, unique and internationally recognized abbreviation”. 
  
  
  
 The country has had misgivings over its name for years, so much so that the issue came up in conversation between President Milos Zeman and his Israeli counterpart in 2013. 
  
  
  
 “I use the word Czechia because it sounds nicer and it’s shorter than the cold Czech Republic,” Zeman told then president Shimon Peres on an official visit to Israel. 
  
 But not all Czechs are keen on the change. “I disagree with the name ‘Czechia’,” the regional development minister, Karla Slechtova, tweeted on Thursday. “I don’t want people to confuse our country with Chechnya.”

 The Czech Republic wants to be known as "Czechia" to make it easier for companies and sports teams to use it on products and clothing. 
  
 The country will retain its full name but Czechia will become the official short geographic name, as "France" is to "The French Republic". 
  
 If approved by parliament, the name will be lodged with the United Nations. 
  
 Along with Slovakia, the Czech Republic was established when Czechoslovakia broke in two in 1993. 
  
 Some of the country's best-known exports, including its Pilsner Urquell beer and ice hockey team, currently use the word "Czech". 
  
 But "Czech" is an adjective and cannot properly be used as a name for the country. 
  
 Some have criticised "Czechia" as ugly, or too similar to "Chechnya", the semi-autonomous Russian republic. |||||

The Czech Republic, possibly taking its cue from how its neighbors aren't known as the Austrian Republic or the Slovak Republic, wants to change the name it's known by internationally. President Milos Zeman and other officials announced this week that they plan to ask the United Nations to update the name to "Czechia" instead of the longer name it has been known by since Czechoslovakia split up in 1993, the Guardian reports. The country, which hopes to use the new name in the Olympics this summer, already uses "Czech" on export beer labels and its international hockey team's uniforms, but because Czech is an adjective, it's like referring to France as "French," the BBC notes. Other rejected names include "Czechlands" and "Bohemia," reports the New York Times. The Go Czechia website makes the case for the new name by listing 16 myths, explaining that the name was used as early as 1634. It says that while the name "might sound strange to some people the first time they hear it," so do names like Massachusetts and Utah. But the name has its critics, including Czech sculptor David Cerny, who complains that "Czechia is neither sexy nor rock 'n' roll," and regional development minister Karla Slechtova, who warns that it might lead to people confusing the country with Chechnya. (The Spanish town "Kill Jews" has also decided to change its name.)
