Etymology

Villages name evolution is quite complicated. To 1846, the name was Geppersdorf without any relevant Czech equivalent. Geppersdorf is derived from German personal name of Gepper or Gebhart, meaning Gepper's Village. Czech name was created in 1846, when German letter "g" was replaced by similarly sounding Czech "kopř-", thus new name was "Kopřivnov". The word "Kopřivnov" reminds Czech word "kopřiva" (nettle), thus villages name is "Kopřivná" (literally "Nettle village) from 1924.

History

The village is firstly referred in a note from 1414 where is mentioned as a part of Bludov manor. During events of Thirty Years War, Kopřivná was abandoned and the village was re-established in 1639.

Demography

Number of people was 910 persons in 1900, all of them were Sudeten Germans. Germans were expulsed in 1945, this event caused strong decline of population as the area of Kopřivná was not popular for newcomers.

gollark: There really is a Nobody, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Nobody is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Nobody is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Nobody added, or GNU/Nobody. All the so-called "Nobody" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Nobody.
gollark: Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Nobody", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
gollark: I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Nobody, is in fact, GNU/Nobody, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Nobody. Nobody is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
gollark: SCP. Three. One. Two. Five.
gollark: Again, it was *SCP-3125*, Nobody.
