Name
Vikrče was attested in written sources in 1394 as Weykers, and in 1436 as Waikers. The name probably developed from the plural demonym *vykъrčane 'people living on cleared land', derived from the noun *vykъrčь 'cleared land'. A less likely possibility is that the name is derived from the Old High German personal name Wîchart.
