Name
The name Znojile is derived from *znoji(d)lo 'sunny or sun-facing area' from the verb *znojiti 'to be warmed by the sun'. The name therefore refers to the geographical orientation of the place.
Church
The local church, built on a hill northeast of the settlement, is dedicated to Saint Leonard. It is a Gothic building that was restyled in the Baroque in the mid-18th century.
