The name of the commune comes from that of a person of Gallo-Roman origin, Cærellius, followed by the suffix -acum, meaning "domain of Cærellius". The second part of the name, l'Isle, refers to the river Isle, which flows through the commune.[3]
In Occitan, the commune is called Sarlhac d'Eila.[4]
History
The territory of the commune has been occupied since the Gallo-Roman era.[3]
The oldest known written mention of the location dates back to the 13th century and concerns its church under the name Sanctus Petrus de Sarlhac.[3]
