The Litavka is a river in the Czech Republic, a right tributary of the Berounka River. It flows through the Central Bohemian Region. It is long.
==Etymology== The river was originally called Pstruhový potok (meaning "Trout Stream") and Bohutínský potok ("Bohutín Stream"). The name Litavka is used from the 18th century. It is derived from the Czech word root lit, from which the verbs lít ("to pour") and rozlévat ("to spill") are derived. It refers to the regular flooding of the stream and its spilling from the banks.
