The name is derived from the personal name Dýňa, meaning "Dýňa's (court)". However, until 1923, the name was written as Dinín.[3][4]

Geography

Dynín is located about 20 kilometres (12 mi) northeast of České Budějovice. It lies in a flat landscape in the Třeboň Basin. The eastern part of the municipality extends into the Třeboňsko Protected Landscape Area. The area of Dynín is rich in fishponds.

History

The first written mention of Dynín is from 1341, when Peter I of Rosenberg donated part of the village to the Dominican monastery in Sezimovo Ústí. During the Thirty Years' War, the village was completely destroyed, but it was restored. In 1660, Dynín was listed as part of the Třeboň estate, and the estate was bought by the Schwarzenberg family. The Schwarzenbergs owned Dynín until the establishment of an independent municipality in 1850.[4]
