The oldest written form of the name is Šestlice. This would mean that the name is derived from the personal name Šestl, meaning "the village of Šestla's people", and later was distorted. However, it is likely that the name was actually derived from the name Čestl or Čestla and contained a typo in the oldest records.[2]
