Zápy is a market town in Prague-East District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 900 inhabitants.
==Etymology== The name Zápy has a pre-Slavic origin and its meaning is unclear. It may be derived from the Illyrian word sapua ('suddenly'), associated with the Old Russian words zapa, zaapa ('expectation', 'hope'), associated with the grass species Phlomoides tuberosa (sápa hlíznatá in modern Czech) or associated with the expression that is used in Slavic languages for 'to shout loudly' (zípati in old Czech).
