Where this word comes from

First attested as soys and zoys in 1028. Etymology uncertain. One hypothesis proposes a derivation from a hydronym cognate to suizen (“swish, murmur”). May be the same as Súsat (also spelled as Susa and Susakk), the capital of Attila mentioned in Thidrek’s saga written around 1250 (Attila, according to it, was originally from Frisia, a region close to Soest).
