Happy Name Day, Vendula!

Today we honor Vendula.  Všechno nejlepší k svátku! (All the best for your name day, Vendula!)
Vendula is of Czech origin and the diminutive of Václava, which is the Czech feminine form of Wenceslas.  Wenceslas means "more glory" from the Slavic elements ventie "more" and slav "glory".  Saint Wenceslas was a 10th-century duke of Bohemia.  He is the patron saint of the Czech Republic.
