Siesholtzville is named after a former hotel keeper at this place. The first public place was opened about 1800; a post office was established in 1849.

The correct pronunciation is "SEE-sholtz-vil," although the pronunciation of "SEE-sawz-vil" is also heard. The German word for liquorice is "Süßholz" which becomes "sees-holtz" in Pennsylvania German with the meaning "sweet"-"wood". "Süßholtz" also "Süssholtz", "Süßholz" and "Süssholz" is a German family name. In English spelling it becomes "Seesholtz", "Seasholtz" or "Seisholtz" and even "Seasholes". All this indicates "Seece-holts-vil" as the original pronunciation of the village.
