Etymology From the oldest documents to those from the 19th century, the name of the village fluctuated between the forms Všejany and Všejamy, and it is not clear which name was the original and which was the distortion. The first part Vše- means 'all' in Czech, but in local names it means 'full of'. If the village was named Všejany, it was probably derived from the given name Jan and people with this name predominated in the village. If the original form was Všejamy, it was probably derived from the word jáma ('pit') and the village was located in an area full of pits.
