There are many interpretations of the name. Some trace its origin to the Campidanese-Sardinian contraction of Cala de Seda, or Cal'e Seda, or also Cala Seda, or Cal'e Sera, or "silk cove". In fact, in the Campidanese-Sardinian language, seda or sera means "silk", because the sea of the Sulcis archipelago was apparently rich in particular mollusks from which "sea silk" was obtained, that is, a type of "natural sea silk" obtained from the threads secreted by a species of marine bivalve mollusk endemic to the Mediterranean (Pinna nobilis), commonly known as "castanets" or "feather mice" (Pinnae margaritiferae). The threads obtained from their interior were used for weaving byssus.

Calasetta is a charming fishing village with a very interesting history. The town was founded by a group of families of tuna fishermen originally from Tunisia; then came the Piedmontese settlers (of which the tower is evidence) and finally the Sicilians arrived. The narrow streets between the low pastel-colored houses against the backdrop of the blue sea remind us that we are in the heart of the Mediterranean.
