On the nautical theme, Czechs say "Ahoj" (pronounced "ahoy"). Especially charming because Czechia is landlocked. I have no idea how this came about.

I'm still shocked at Malá mořská víla too.
If you remove diacritics its completely valid BCS and same meaning.
BCS have a word for mermaid/siren though (sirena) so it's Mala Sirena. Which makes sense with the sea right there and proximity to Greece so Homeric legends about sirens will presumably be in the culture.
