In South Bohemia my surname is spelled=20 Mlejnek, but in Moravia and Poland it is Ml=FDnek. Another one of my=20 surnames is spelled Cejkovsky in South Moravia, but in Polish Galicia it is= =20 Zajchowski ("sky" is Czech, "ski" is Polish). Besides regional dialects,=20 there is also different spellings for names on how they are used in a=20 sentence. When I saw the name Mlejnku in a Czech article, I never realized= =20 it was my name.
