It was first mentioned in 1329 as “Sauly, Sali posessio”, and since then the village name has been connected with the word “salt” (sol means salt in Croatian).
Se oli ensin mainittu 1329 "Sauly, Sali posessiona" ja siitä saakka kylän nimi on yhdistetty sanaan "suola" (sol tarkoittaa suolaa kroatiaksi).
