Origin of the name Orlík

I do not think the article is accurate. As a native Czech speaker, I can say that despite what Google Translator may say Orlík is not an eagle (Which is "orel" in Czech), "orlík" may be a small eagle (in rather archaic Czech - I know that word but would not use it to express myself.), this word is also used as an official name of couple of hawk species, whose I do not know how to translate to English (But the "hawk" itself is "jestřáb" in Czech.), but most likely (Speculation based on what average Czech thinks when hearing "Orlík".) the name was inspired by an ancient Czech castle Orlík nad Vltavou (Orlík over Moldau - https://www.zamekorlik.cz/en/).

It makes perfect sense, because when the armored train was named Orlík, Czechoslovakia had not yet existed, Prague was ruled by Austrian House of Habsburks and Orlík nad Vltavou was a seat of one of the most powerful Czech noble houses - House of Schwarzenbergs. Of course, I cannot provide a citation for the fact that I am a native Czech speaker, citizen, and resident. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.240.9.14 (talk • contribs) 03:28, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
