Etymology

The name is probably derived from Czech name for springs (studénky). The adjectivum "Horní" (Upper) was created later to make it more recognizable from another close settlement also called Studénky which holds the name "Dolní" (Lower) today.

Historical names

The village was called Studenky, Studinky or Studynky.

History

The first note about the village comes from 1518, but the village is probably older because a note from 1531 refers to a parish church, and parish churches were situated in locally older settlements. It is speculated that original village's name was Odendorf and was later renamed for unknown reason.

gollark: I mean, it's probably way more complicated, but basically you can't send information faster than light that way.

gollark: Anyway, my knowledge of this is not very detailed, but IIRC quantum entanglement means that if you observe one particle the other one collapses into another state, or something like that, and you don't control which state is picked, so you can't send any data.
