Cognate with hsb Budyšin, pl Budziszyn. First attested in a la-med - text as la Budusin in 1002. The German form is an entirely regular outcome of the Slavic: Postalveolar -š- was borrowed as retracted Middle High German -s-, and Modern German diphthongisation and syncope then yielded de Bautzen. The further origin is uncertain, but probably de sla -, with suggestions including: Named after a prince called en Budissentius, en Budestaus, or alternatively a female sla-pro *Budiša, from de sla-pro *buditi to awaken. Compare names like en Budigost, en Budimir, en Budislav. Some sources derive it from the Slavic name of the de Ortenburg (Bautzen) Ortenburg castle in Bautzen, which is given as de Budetzsch, but they do not explain it further. A derivation from hsb buda hut is highly unlikely as this is a Germanic loanword. Bautzen legend/folk etymology explains the name by a tale in which a traveling duchess gave birth in present-day Bautzen, during which the rushing husband asked hsb budeli ssen,Johann Georg Theodor Gräße: Der Sagenschatz des Königreichs Sachsen, 1855, Nr. 611 „Die Sage von der Entstehung des Namens Budissin“, S. 454f.; 2.

Brockhaus Verlag Leipzig, 1. Auflage 1989, S. 3–4. or perhaps in modern hsb budźe syn? will it be a son?. Compare also Bautzen at German Wikipedia.
