Etymology
The name is derived from the Bělá Stream, which flows through the area.[4] The word bělá comes from the Czech adjective bílý, meaning 'white' – hence, the name refers to a 'white stream'.[5] The adjective nová (meaning 'new') was added to distinguish the municipality from its older neighbour, Stará Bělá.[6]
