Bernolákovo German: Lanschütz, former Slovak names: Čeklís, Čeklýs) is a village and municipality in western Slovakia in Senec District in the Bratislava Region.
Names and etymology
The Slovak name for the village, Lǫžnica, originates from the German name Lanschütz, given by the builder and owner, the Esterházy Family, in 1714. The name Lanschütz likely means "long meadow" in German. The Slovak word for "riparian forest" is luh, which comes from the Proto-Slavic word lǫgъ.
During its longest and historically most relevant period of existence as part of Hungary and the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the village was known by the Hungarian name Cseklész (Čeklís). After World War II, the Communist invaded this part of Hungary, the new communist regime renamed the village and the nearby castle to Bernolákovo, after the Slovak linguist Anton Bernolák.
Demography

The 2021 census has found the number of houses increased sharply from 1,773 in 2011 to 3,724 in 2021, representing the fastest growth rate out of all municipalities in Slovakia. The new housing construction was associated with the fast growth of population from less than 6,000 inhabitants in 2011 to the current population of more than 9,000. Population by nationality:
