There are three theories about the origin of the name. Either the name was derived from the old Czech word zásada, which denoted a place where hunters lie in wait for game; or from the old Czech verb zasaditi se, which meant 'to settle down'; or from the old Czech expression zasaditi hranice, i.e. 'to mark boundaries'.[2]
