I've never met anyone in the Czech Republic who refers to the country as Czechia (or Česko).
Czechia is a short-form English version introduced in 2016 by the Czech Government which has generally been ignored by the population. The official name of the country remains Česká Republika (Czech Republic). A Czech friend of mine got quite annoyed when he noticed that Google Earth referred to his home country as Czechia.
