Yes. Czechia is the informal name for the Czech Republic. Since 2016 the Czech government has promoted the use of Czechia as the informal name for the country in English. It is a translation of the Czech informal name Česko, which came into widespread use after Czechoslovakia was dissolved at the end of 1992.
