Koestler, a well-known hazarologist, believes that the name of this city comes from the word «saksin», which grew up on or near the city of Khazaran, also consonant with Sarrisin. Koestler considers this name to be an ancient name, from which the name Saksin was derived, shorter and easier to pronounce for steppe wanderers of iranian origin, left over from the sarrisyns.

Soviet experts believe that the city of Sarrisyn cannot be separated in time into an independent urban entity, just as such naming is not revealed in any source or language in which sources about the khazars are written.
