Etymology

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