Name
In the
Middle Ages the name Sartrouville was recorded in
Medieval Latin as
Sartoris Villa. The origin and meaning of
Sartoris Villa is still debated. Some think the name comes from the
Roman Empire patronym Saturus (probably a
Gallo-Roman landowner) and means "estate (
villa) of Saturus". Others believe that the word
sartoris comes from the
Medieval Latin past participle exsartum ("cleared for cultivation"), from
Latin sartum ("hoed"), and means "estate of the land-clearers", probably in reference to the deforestation that took place around Sartrouville in
ancient history or in the Early Middle Ages to enable the cultivation of the land.
