Etymology edit
Possibilities include:
- One of the cities' Etruscan nicknames, as it was originally colonized by Etruscans.[1]
- From an Italic (possibly Oscan) derivative of Proto-Indo-European *séh₂ls (“salt”), as the colony was on the coast.[2]
- From a Mediterranean substrate *sala (“channel”), with the suffix -ern- typical of substrate names.[3]
