Beránek Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
Beránek is the Czech word for 'lamb'.
Long ago, in what is now the Czech Republic (it was formally Bohemia and part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire), people's surnames were sometimes chosen by the personality or temperament of the individual. So, the name of Beránek, meaning 'lamb', would probably have meant that the man was kind and even-tempered.
This surname would have been taken by men, because in the Czech Republic and other Slavic countries, only the men really have a surname. The women, whether married or not, take either their father's or husband's name and then a suffix is added. For instance, Beránek is changed to Beranková when it is a woman's surname. The suffix denotes that the woman is "like a Beránek", and it (the suffix) turns the surname into kind of an adjective.
