Notes
- ^ Krejčí, just like other surnames ending with -í, are an uncommon example of a Czech surname that allows the same form for both masculine and feminine genders. However, Krejčová is more common. The inflected form Krejčová is also associated with the surname Krejča, which is however significantly less common in the population.[1]
