What is the meaning of the name Sola ?

The baby name Sola is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SOH-lah.

Sola is Latin, Spanish in Origin.

Sola is usually read in Spanish as the feminine singular adjective sola, from Latin solus, attested in Classical Latin with the inflected forms solus, sola, solum. The base adjective denoted alone, single, or only; Spanish preserved the feminine -a ending, so the name’s literal sense is she alone or the solitary one. As a personal name, it is an adjective adopted into naming rather than an ancient Roman praenomen.

In Spanish-speaking settings Sola has remained uncommon, overshadowed by devotional names such as Soledad, tied to Nuestra Señora de la Soledad. English-language use is sparse; recent American birth records place it outside the national Top 1000. The same spelling also appears independently: Yoruba Ṣọlá is a shortened form in names built on ọlá, honor, wealth, or high status, while Scandinavian Sola may reflect sól, sun, or a place-name. These homographs should not be treated as variants of the Spanish name.
