Sol 1

Sól or Sunna (Old High German) is the Sun personified in Germanic mythology. One of the two Old High German Merseburg Incantations, written in the 9th or 10th century CE, attests that Sunna is the sister of Sinthgunt. In Norse mythology, Sól is attested in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson.

In both the Poetic Edda and the Prose Edda she is described as the sister of the personified moon, Máni, is the daughter of Mundilfari, is at times referred to as Álfröðull, and is foretold to be killed by a monstrous wolf during the events of Ragnarök, though beforehand she will have given birth to a daughter who continues her mother's course through the heavens.
Sól appears throughout Old Norse literature. Scholars have produced theories about the development of the goddess from potential Nordic Bronze Age and Proto-Indo-European roots.

Her right hand cast about the heavenly horses.

The moon know not what power he possessess
The stars knew not where they had a station.

Henry Adams Bellows translation:
The sun, the sister of the moon, from the south
Her right hand cast over heaven's rim;
No knowledge she had where her home should be,
The moon knew not what might was his,
The stars knew not where their stations were.

Sol is also the diminutive of Soledad.

In portuguese and Spanish "Sol" only means "Sun", not "THE Sun". [noted -ed]

"Sol" only means "Sun" in Spanish, not "the sun". Also it means "sun" in Catalan.

Can be a short form of Marisol.

In Roman myths Sol was the god of the sun. Like Helios and Apollo were for the Greeks.

This name means also "the Sun", in Norwegian. One female character in the Norwegian book series "The Tale About The Ice People" bears this name.

Simply means 'Sun' in Norwegian. This was used in the book series "Sagaen Om Isfolket", her name was Sol Angelica, the books is called "The LEGEND OF The Ice People" in English (NOT tale about)!

Sól is the Norse goddess of the sun and the sister of the moon (Måne). The name is the same as the Norwegian word for "sun" -- "The sun" would in Norwegian be Solen or Sola, both are correct, and in Spanish it is "el Sol", which is masculine.

Norway has this as their only given name. I am Norwegian and love Sol- names.
