what does the name stand for
They took it from a Czech beer with the same name, then proceeded to sue them for using that name in the US. Now the original version is sold as Czechvar in the US. I don't know if the name actually means anything.
In German, the ending -er stands for the people/things that come from a certain place (eg Bremer = someone/something from Bremen, Berliner = some one/something from Berlin, etc). Several beers are named after the place where they were conceived, including Pilsner Urquell (Pilsner = from Pilz, Czech Republic, Urquell = original fountain), and Budweiser Budvar (from Ceske Budejovice, or Budweis, in English).
From what I know, a Czech emigrant from Ceske Budejovice started to brew what became Budweiser in the US, while another beer, now known as Budweiser Original or Budvar or Budweiser Budvar was being brewed in the Czech republic. After a couple of years, they inevitably met and negotiations between the companies about using "Budweiser" reached an agreement in 1911 that allowed Anheuser-Busch to use the brand "Budweiser" only in North America.
Since both Budweiser Budvar and Anheuser-Busch have trademarks for the name "Budweiser", they have been party to many lawsuits in a number of countries. Because of such disputes, Budvar is sold in the United States and Canada under the label Czechvar.
The difference? Budvar is a real beer.
Because u deserve what every individual should enjoy regular now look at the first letter of each word it spells Budweiser

Brewers in Bohemia generally named a beer after their town with the suffix "er." Beers produced in the town of Plzen, for example, were called Plzners, or Pilsners. Busch and Conrad had visited another town, only 104 km (65 miles) south of Plzenalso, known for its breweries: B
