Abstract
This article focuses on the zoological and linguistic comparison of the Lamprey family names, which were used in Bohemia in the past, with names currently in use throughout Europe, especially in neighboring countries. It tries to explain the etymology of this for fishermen important species and mutual connections with zoogeography.
Both similarities and differences in the creation of these names are reflected in current scientific nomenclature, national names as well as in the local fisherman's terminology closely related to ethnography.
