Dolní Líštná


About this sound Dolní Líštná  (Polish: About this sound Leszna Dolna, German: Nieder Lischna) is a village in Frýdek-Místek District, Moravian-Silesian Region, Czech Republic. It was a separate municipality but became administratively a part of Třinec in 1946. It has a population of 4,600 (1 January 2008).

It lies in the Silesian Foothills and in the historical region of Cieszyn Silesia.

The name is of topographic origins and is derived from hazel trees (Polish: laska, leszczyna). Until the mid-16th century adjective Polish (Polska in Czech and Polish, or Polnisch in German) was used to differentiate the village from the sister settlement Leszna Górna (then German) but was later replaced with adjective Dolna/Dolní (lit. Lower), e.g. puol Polske Lessczne in 1457 and Lessczna Duolny in 1523. Later also a simplification LeszcznaLeszna occurred.
