The villages and hamlets of Dvorecko, Kotoučov, Prostřední Ves, Řeplice and Šlechtín are administrative parts of Bohdaneč.
Etymology
The name Bohdaneč is derived from the personal name Bohdanec (diminutive form of Bohdan), meaning "Bohdanec's". In the Middle Ages, the name Bohdanice was also used.[2]
