Lilybett- In the Czech Republic, the suffix -ova is usually added to women's surnames (in a few cases, only the letter A is added to the end of the surname). Basically, the male version of Eva's surname is Herzig, which is why George's surname is Herzig. Since Eva is a female, the suffix -ova is added to her name, so her surname is Hezigova. I am not Czech myself, but I have a friend who is, and she explained Czech surnames to me.

Is there a reason why they're only using part of her surname- Herzig/Herzigova? Is there a big difference or is one czech for the other?

Stacey, if you read right, that could make sense since Jiri is the name of Eva's father. they may have picked a more international version of the name, as a tribute to him.
