The first part of the name, sol, is an Old Norse word for "house".

Even if "Sol" means "sun" in Norwegian it does not mean that every Norwegian name containing "Sol" has something to do with the sun, Solveig is after what I have read from the Norse elements "salr" meaning "house" and "veig" probably meaning "fighting" or "strong";
This would make the full meaning of the name "the fighting house" or "the strong house", but many consider it to have the other meanings that other users so kindly pointed to and parents give it to their children because of that.
PS: I am Norwegian and love Sol- names.

My name is Randi Sofia Ulfsdotter-Ekberg, I am Swedish/Norwegian. (Born in Sweden/Norwegian citizen) My mother is Swedish. My father is Norwegian. My "FARMOR"'s name is Randi Solveig Ekberg. (FAR_MOR means Father's Mother, Far=father Mor=mother). Precisely translated, yes "Solveig" means Sol=sun Veig=way. Way of the sun. Or strong character, as the sun leads all of us.

A Norwegian woman I know is named Solveig, she told me that it was from Norway and that it means "Way of the Sun". And the pronunciation is more like SUL-vey.
