   • 2004, “Morphometric characteristics and growth of Carassius auratus in the lower part of the River Dyje (Czech Republic)”, in Ecohydrology & Hydrobiology, volume 4, number 2, page 217:

     Such forms have been denoted as "humilis" morphs, as described for C. auratus, e.g. by Berg (1949). In 2002, a sample of 15 females was collected from the Chomoutov wetland system (the Morava basin).

A 1078 document, accompanying the foundation of the Hradisko Monastery,[1] refers to the village as Chomutowiczi. It was derived from personal name Chomút +‎ -ovice, meaning "a village of Chomút's people". The name Chomút is from chomút (“horsecollar”),[2] which was also used as a nickname for a clumsy person.[3] The suffix -ovice was shortened to -ov in the 14th century (similarly as in some other Moravian oikonyms, compare e. g. Holešov or Prostějov).[2]

Compare also Chomutov.
