Etymology
The name Mlázovice is derived from the personal name Mlaz, meaning "the village of Mlaz's people". The initial name of the village was Mlazovice, but in the 16th century it was distorted to Mlázovice because of its similarity with the word mlází ('young forest').[3]

History
The first written mention of Mlázovice is from 1360, when there was a fortress owned by Jiřík of Mlázovice. The owners of Mlázovice often changed. In 1424, during the Hussite Wars, the fortress and the village were burned down, but the village recovered. In 1540, during the rule of the Karlík of Nežetice family, Mlázovice was promoted to a market town. In 1594, Mlázovice was acquired by the Smiřický family and annexed to the Hořice estate.[4]
