Znetalici

Znetalici (Czech: Snětaliči) was a Slavic tribe mentioned by the 9th-century Bavarian Geographer.

They are mentioned as inhabiting 74 civitates (settlements).

[1] While some scholars put them somewhere in Russia,[2] between the Carpathians and the Danube,[2][3] or in Kiev.

[2][3][5] They are etymologically related to toponym Netolice in Bohemia, and Serbo-Lusatian tribe of Neletici or Netelici.

Mikołaj Rudnicki considered it of patronymic origin with suffix *-ici, deriving it from *Snetal ("big trunk"), which has survived as surnames Snětal, Snětalová in the Czech Republic and Śniatała in Poland.
