Does anyone know what the name means? Nsteinme (talk) 08:56, 14 December 2007 (UTC)


 * The name means "Charles' Bath" in Czech. The first word is a possessive form of given name Karel (Charles), the second part lázně is a pluralized form of a noun with meaning of "spa" (i.e. spa town) or "baths" (plural of bath). In its singular form lázeň this is a slightly archaic-sounding word meaning "bath"; the meaning "spa" (regardless of count) is present only in plural. Despite these subtle grammar oddities the most appropriete translation is "bath" (sg.). I presume the name derives from location in vicinity of the Charles Bridge. If so, the indirect namesake would be Charles IV, a 14th century monarch who has been held in high esteem by the Czechs even today. Anyway, regardless of its usage by the club itself, the correct Czech spelling is Karlovy lázně (i.e. no capital L in the second word). --Miaow Miaow (talk) 08:38, 23 December 2011 (UTC)

Old swimming pool spa building.
apparently the club used to be a spa, which is why the dancefloors are all lower down, seems pretty relevant to the article —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.23.56.12 (talk) 15:49, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
