The town's name probably means "place of the burnt forest" (pol.żegać, żagiew): probably referring to the burning of primaeval forest by early settlers. If this is correct, it is consistent with the names of nearby places: Żary, Zgorzelec, Pożarów.

The Rivers Bóbr and Kwisa meet up just outside the town on its south-eastern side.
