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 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 Antiquity or in the Early Middle Ages to enable the cultivation of the land.
