Košťany – město s mladým jménem, ale se starobylou minulostí
Košťany – City with a Young Name, but with an Ancient Past

Summary/Abstract: Czech small city with a relatively young name ‒ Košťany ‒ was called entirely differently in the past. There were converging artificial streams that contained tin ore. Not far from these watercourses several Celtic artifacts were found and a world-renowned Celtic treasure was placed into a nearly water spring. Therefore, the search for the origin of the name of the village focused on a possible Celtic origin. The original name of the village was Costen or Kosten. And in the Cornish language (originally surviving Celtic language on the peninsula Cornwall) there exists a word costean ‒ it is read kosten.
