Exclamation I need this translated into Czechoslovakian. Please help me!!

My family came from Czechoslovakia. I don't know much about the language, but I want to get a tattoo of my last name, which is Smayda, in Czechoslovakian. Also, if anyone could tell me what it means, that would be awesome.
Thanks!

Hi,
A little bit of general culture wouldn't harm anyone: Czechoslovakia doesn't exist any more, since 1993, it was peacfully devided into Czech republic and Slovakia. To refer to the times before 1993, I would rather say former (or ex) Czechoslovakia (as this term doesn't exist anymore).
To get to the point, Smayda doesn't ring a bell, it sounds a bit Czech but the ortograph might have been changed in anglosaxon transcription to be easier to pronounce for anglophones. It might come from a czech name Šmajda or even Smajda. Šmajda may come from a Czech verb - from the infiniv Šmajdat which means shamble, waddle ( in CZ it's an old word, not too commonly used).
