Dobřejovice is a municipality and village in Prague-East District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 1,300 inhabitants.
Etymology
The name is derived from the personal name Dobřej, meaning "the village of Dobřej's people". From the second half of the 18th century until the first half of the 19th century, the village was called Manderscheid after the then-owner of the village, Count of Manderscheid. However, the people did not use the new name, so the old name was restored.[1]
