In the earliest records, the name was spelled as "Sajcze" or "Saycze." It is thought that this variation in spelling was due to the influence of different dialects in the region.

As the name spread across Europe, it underwent various spelling changes. In Germany, it was sometimes written as "Saytsche" or "Saitsche," while in Poland, it appeared as "Sajcze" or "Sajcza."
