Etymology
cs zlw-ocs Olomúc. The name of the city appears in Chronica Boëmorum (finished 1125) by Cosmas of Prague, where it is named cs Olomuc, cs Olomuz and cs Olomucz, all the versions being probably pronounced /olomuːt͡s/. Its origin remains unclear. There is only an acceptable theory related to the second part of the name -mouc, which is from cs zlw-ocs -múc, which is probably from cs sla-pro *-mǫt noise, muddle + possessive suffix sla-pro *-jь, which assimilated together into -c. This suggests that there might have been a personal name *Olomút (or *Olomǫt), with Olomúc meaning "the property of Olomút", similarly to the names of villages cs Bolelouc (which used to mean "a property of Boleľút") or cs Chořelice (originally called cs Chořelúc, which used to mean "a property of Chořeľút"). However, there is no evidence of any real occurrence of the name Olomút.Lutterer, Ivan; Majtán, Milan; Šrámek, Rudolf (1982). "Olomouc". Zeměpisná jména Československa. Praha: Mladá fronta. Pages 221–222.Hosák, Ladislav; Šrámek, Rudolf (1980). "Olomouc". Místní jména na Moravě a ve Slezsku, vol. II. Praha: Československá akademie věd. Pages 173–178.
There is no accepted theory related to the origin of the first part Olo-. sla-pro *olъ beer does not seem to make much sense as its origin, although there was an attempt to explain the supposed personal name as a name of an unknown divine creature, meaning "the one who lets the beer ferment".
Some linguists also tried to relate the name of the city to the gem personal names und Alamud or und Aulomont.

Usage notes
The gender of the word Olomouc is feminine in standard Czech, but in the past it used to be masculine inanimate, which is still kept in Moravian dialects.Poznámka o rodu místních jmen typu Olomouc, Boleslav, Litomyšl Alena Polívková 6072 1978 61 4 The declension of the name itself differs in both genders only in the instrumental case (feminine: cs Olomoucí, masculine: cs Olomoucem), but it also influences the declension of neighbouring adjectives and determiners. For example the phrase "in nocturnal Olomouc" can be said in feminine v noční Olomouci and in masculine v nočním Olomouci. This applies for standard Czech declension; the declension in various Moravian dialects differs more (e. g. genitive cs Olomouca). The name of the city is frequently used in the masculine gender for example in the book Velký Olomouc (1924).
The proper name Olomouc is usually used as a name of the district only in collocation cs okres Olomouc district Olomouc.
