Names and etymology
The Slovak name for the village, Lǫžnica, originates from the German name Lanschütz, given by the builder and owner, the Esterházy Family, in 1714. The name Lanschütz likely means "long meadow" in German. The Slovak word for "riparian forest" is luh, which comes from the Proto-Slavic word lǫgъ.[4]
During its longest and historically most relevant period of existence as part of Hungary and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the village was known by the Hungarian name Cseklész (Čeklís). After World War II, the new communist regime renamed the village and the nearby castle to Bernolákovo, after the Slovak linguist Anton Bernolák.
