Vojtěch (Czech pronunciation: [ˈvojcɛx] ⓘ) and Vojtech are Czech and Slovak masculine given names. They can also appear as a surname (feminine: Vojtěchová, Vojtechová). They are composed of the roots voj ('troops', 'war(rior)') and těch/tech ('consolation'). The name is interpreted either as "consoler of the troops" or "reinforcement for the troops".
The name Vojtěch has since the Early Middle Ages been perceived as the equivalent of the Germanic name Adalbert ("noble bright"), due to the saint Adalbert of Prague (Czech: svatý Vojtěch), who was the first recorded user of this name. However, the two names have no linguistic relationship with each other. Using this same artificial process, the names Vojtěch/Adalbert have been assigned to the Hungarian name Béla ('noble').
Pet forms of the name include Vojta and Vojtek. A Polish equivalent of the name is Wojciech. Notable people with the name include:
