What is the meaning of the name Sol ?

The baby name Sol is a girl name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced SOHL.

Sol is Latin, Old Norse, Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

Sol is the ordinary Spanish and Portuguese word-name for the sun, inherited from Latin sōl, whose nominative form is the earliest directly documented source; the older Indo-European base is commonly reconstructed as *sóh₂wl̥. As a given name it is lexical rather than hypocoristic in Iberian use, with a simple monosyllabic form and no added suffix. A separate but cognate Germanic tradition has Old Norse Sól, the personified sun, beside the name Sunna.

Medieval Spanish literature already shows Sol as a woman's name: doña Sol is one of El Cid's daughters in the Cantar de mio Cid. In Catholic Spanish naming it also functions as a short form of María del Sol and, by association, Marisol and Soledad, especially in Spanish-speaking countries. Modern bearers include Argentine cellist Sol Gabetta and Mexican singer María del Sol; in the United States the name has recently been recorded more often for girls than boys.
