Meaning & Origin
The Sun, the star orbited by the Earth.
Sol is a girl's and boy's baby name of Latin origin, the Latin word for "sun," and also the Spanish word for the same. It carries the warmth, light, and life-giving energy of the sun itself — one of the most elemental of all name meanings.
Sol has a beautiful simplicity that works across multiple cultures — Latin, Spanish, Hebrew (as a form of Solomon), and Scandinavian. Its three-letter crispness and luminous meaning have made it part of the modern wave of short, nature-inspired names for girls.
