Ochodnicky is a Slovak name although there is some evidence that the lineage might trace back to the Czech Hussites. "Chodit" is the Common Slavic word meaning "to walk." Thus the name translates to "walker." Note the related word for a businessman "obchodnik" which also implies travel. There is a lovely village in Zilina region called Ochodica. There are, based on conversations with the villagers, no persons named Ochodnicky living in Ochodnica at present. Nevertheless Ochodnicky is the adjective form of the village name as evidenced by the name on the village got spring Ochodnicky Pramen.

The original pro pronunciation is "oh-xoht-ni-ski" although in the US it is more commonly pronounced "ah-kah-Nicky" or "oh-kah-Nicky."
