What is the meaning of the name Sole ?

The baby name Sole is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SOH-leh (English respelling) — IPA: /ˈso.le/ (Italian/Spanish),soh-LAY (when written Solé) — IPA: /soˈle/.

Sole is Catalan, Italian, Spanish in Origin.

Sole is a cross-cultural name with two main roots. In Italian it is a modern nature name taken from sole, “sun,” ultimately from Latin sol, and is used for any gender, though more often for girls. In Spanish it functions chiefly as a familiar short form of Soledad, a Marian name (“Our Lady of Solitude”) long established across Spain and Latin America; in some cases Sole has also become an independent given name.

Usage rose in late 20th-century Italy and the Hispanic world as parents embraced bright, minimalist names. Variants and relatives include Sol (Span./Cat.), Soleá (a flamenco-associated Spanish form), Soleil/Solei (French-inspired), and Soledad; the Catalan surname-form Solé is occasionally seen as a given name. Meanings therefore range from “sun; brightness; warmth” (Italian line) to “solitude” in the reverential Spanish sense. Nicknames include Sol and Soli.
