Both adjectives are used in both, Czech ans Slovak languages, with small spelling differences.
Anyway, both towns Mikulov and Brno, are located at Moravia

My last name is Beam/Boehm. Boehm means Czech in German and Beam is the Anglicized version of Boehm.

The furthest back that I have traced my straight male paternal line back to is my GGGGGGGGG-grandfather Johan Heinrich Boehm who was born in a village called Schneeberg on the Saxon side of the Saxony/Bohemia border in 1640. A lot Czechs refugees moved into Saxony after Bela Hora during the 30 years war. My Y chromosome is R1A L1029

I did probably pass them both in my trek to here, so I have to and must agree
