The Czech word "Orlické" (or a Polish word "Orlickie") is a declinable adjective derived frome the proper name "
Orlice" ("Orlica" in Polish). English language doesn't know such kind of adjective, but it is used the noun as adjective. The mountains has their name after this river, whereof name is "Orlice". The name of the river may be derived from "orel", which is an eagle, or from "orlice", which is female of eagle (by the way, a female of eagle is the national emblem at coats of arms of
Moravia,
Silesia and
Poland). Inasmuch as this mountains are situated in
Sudetenland, the German name "Adlergebirge" can be taken into account as well.
There are several possibilities of correct article name:
Orlice Mountains – the name is derived from the untransladed Czech river name according to English grammar.
Eagle Mountains - the name is a close translation of the German "Adlergebirge", but this English name is more established for some Californian mountains

Orlické Mountains – Orlické is the most common name in English, but it is a common convention to translate the georelief type, and therefore the current name is inconsistent with other names in Central Europe. See Category:Mountain ranges of Poland, Category:Mountain ranges of Slovakia, Category:Mountain ranges of the Czech Republic.
