Hodonín (in Czech pronounced as /ˈɦodoɲiːn/) is a municipality and village in Blansko District in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 200 inhabitants.
The first written mention of Hodonín is from 1360. The most important owners of the village were the Pernštejn family that granted the village some privileges.[2]
