Etimologie (Engels)

First mentioned in Latin as (in villa) Goreliz in a deed from King Heinrich IV of 1071. Said to be of Slavic/Old Sorbian origin, from Proto-Slavic *gorěti (“to burn”), referring to an establishment on a burned site. Its mentioning is connected to the transfer of some of the king's properties located in the eastern part of Upper Lusatia to the cathedral chapter of Meißen.
