I was thinking about it (my guess was Norbert) but why would you abbreviate your first name and merge it with the surname?
Another option is a corruption of "netichým" (by the unquiet one; there is no surname Netichý), "nad tichým" (over quiet), or "na tichém" (on quiet). Both "nad" and "na" are unaccented like "sa", which nicely explains merging them with "tichím". As for the last option, I know nothing about the probability of confusing the instrumental "tichým" with the locative "tichém" in Czech. Most importantly, though, these expressions (unless they are some obscure, antiquated idioms) really need a following noun, just like in English. Neither "multos" nor "sotlum" is a noun.
- dane-pgp 6y ago> why would you abbreviate your first name and merge it with the surname? One might also ask "why would you write your name backwards in a book that's written in a language no one can read?". Perhaps the same thought process that lead the writer to reverse the order of the letters also encouraged them to remove punctuation and superscripting (which were often used when abbreviating names), as well as remove the space between first and last name. Abbreviation of the first name (and not the surname) doesn't seem that odd, as evidenced by this 1640 collection of poems by "WIL. SHAKESPEARE": https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1640ShPoems.jpg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:1640ShPoems.jpg
