Etymology

The name is derived from the creek Bělá, which flows through the area.^[4] The word bělá comes from the Czech adjective bílý, meaning white – hence, the name refers to a 'white creek'.^[5] The adjective nová (feminine form of nový), which means new, was added to distinguish the municipality from its older neighbor, Stará Bělá.^[6][7]
