Oh dear, oh dear! Technically the Czech Republic in that matter is the same case as the United Kingdom. Except that the Czech Republic is not kingdom anymore.

The Bohemian king automatically held the title Margrave of Moravia and Duke of Silesia.

What always confused me was that the Czech republic used Czechia as a nickname because the traditional "bohemia" is the name of the region....

Well, Britania has that Britania word. But there is only word Čechy and it's renewed version Česko. Bohemia is more like latin word and latin is not that much of lingva franka anymore in here ;) So it's like this or some new word has to be invented. But it would surely cause more feuds then Česko. And believe me, that's hard enough. I hate that word. It's so... wrong! :D (we could call it simply Království before since there was not much of kingdoms around and not of it was called Czech - Království.

So Bohemia is Germanic, both linguistically long ago and culturally (especially with ties to Bavaria, and south into Italy during HRE control), that Western Slavs moved into and mixed to create a syncretic ethnic group. Half of the rest were a slightly later influx of Western Slavs, who didn't mix with the Germanic people as much. The last has gone back and forth between Western Slavic groups of slightly different backgrounds, Moravia and Poland, for centuries. They've also been under the thumb of the Austrians, Hungarians, Russians, Prussians and Germans a time or two. So it is really just Western Slavs, Other Western Slavs, and Little-bit German Western Slavs.

[@ondrejlukas4727]

Just for the record - are you aware that first mentioned slavic population in the area is mentioned at 7th century? Franks tried to invade Czechia and Morava (not of that name yet) and were beaten by those slavic people.

@@ondrejlukas4727 Yes, and Germanic people were in what became Bohemia as far back as the 3rd BCE. In the 3rd CE, during the Roman Crisis of the Third Century, multiple Germanic groups would settle in the area, and later more Germanic groups would move into the area, themselves pushed in by Gothic expansion. It is the region through which the Langobards moved into Italy, becoming the Lombards.

@@Nick-hi9gx well, the slavic languages are quite different but also are germanic from gaelic. Anyway, of what I understood from different historians from Czechia the exact way of how those 2 shifts happened is unknown and probably always would be. No evidence of dramatical wars and bloodsheds or famine or plague. Also no writen evidence except few mentions from Romans and Greeks. They say that it seems that people just went away or rather slowly lost their culture and then adopted culture of newcomers after century or two.
