Etymology
The name is derived from the Czech words mokro ('wet') and vracet ('to return'). The name arose because of the location of the village near the Brdy hills. These often caused the wind to turn and the rain to return to the village. The name of the village Poustě (literally 'deserts') also arose because of meteorological phenomena.[3]
