Etymology
From (and spelling variants), from Old. Cognate with 🇨🇬, 🇨🇬. First attested in a 🇨🇬 text as in 1002. The German form is an entirely regular outcome of the Slavic: Postalveolar -š- was borrowed as retracted Middle High German -s-, and Modern German diphthongisation and syncope then yielded.

The further origin is uncertain, but probably, with suggestions including:


 * Named after a prince called, , or alternatively a female , from . Compare names like , ,.


 * Some sources derive it from the Slavic name of the castle in Bautzen, which is given as, but they do not explain it further. A derivation from 🇨🇬 is highly unlikely as this is a Germanic loanword.


 * Bautzen legend/folk etymology explains the name by a tale in which a traveling duchess gave birth in present-day Bautzen, during which the rushing husband asked, or perhaps in modern.
