 The name Sajlovo/Isailovo is of Slavic origin, which indicates that these settlements were initially inhabited by Slavs.In the 16th century, the village was destroyed and later Ottoman defters mention Gornje Sajlovo as a heath that was inhabited by people, but not in the form of a settlement.In 1554, an Ottoman defter recorded that Sajlovo had three houses that paid taxes, while by 1570, the number of houses that paid taxes had increased to seven.
