The earliest written record of Sani Bursil is from an original manuscript found during renovation of a temple in Arsal in 1649, which among others describing Impelanzan rule over [[Staynes|Estenes de la Aurora]], describes a battle fought over the pillared fortress ''Burhsūli''. The pillared fortress was sainted under Impelanzan rule, becoming ''Sanctus Burhsūli''. This lasted for two centuries from the 4th to the early 6th, being reclaimed around the fall of Impelanza. |

Because the city was described as being pillared, etymologists widely agree that ''Burhsūli'' comes from an earlier proto-Ethalrian translation ''Burgzsūliz'', where ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/burgz| burgz]'' means "fortress" (similar to how ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/burh#Old_English| burh]'' is related to ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/burg#Old_English| burg]'' in [[Wikipedia:English language|Old Staynish]]), and ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/s%C5%ABliz| sūliz]'' means "pillar". When the Staynish reclaimed Sani Bursil in the 10th century, the city was known as ''Sanu Burhsyl''. The ''t'' pronounciation had been lost, and [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-West_Germanic/s%C5%ABli| sūli] had shrank to ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/syl#Old_English| syl]''. |

The city's first recorded modern spelling was in a letter sent by King Crago IV in 1464 to a Magister residing in Bourbridge. The city was spelt by future King Lambertus III as ''Sanu Bursul'', but future letters suggested that by his reign in the early 16th century, the city was commonly written as ''Sani Bursil''. |
