Etymology

The name Všeruby is probably derived from the Czech words vše ('all') and rubati ('to chop'). That would mean it was a village of lumberjacks. However, in the oldest documents the name is written as Všeroby. Either this is a typo, or the root of the name is actually the word roba, which in Old Czech meant 'servant' or 'prostitute'.[3]
