Solis is a girl's and boy's baby name of Latin and Spanish origin, from the Latin sol, meaning 'sun' — in its genitive form, solis means 'of the sun.' In Spanish it functions as a surname meaning the same. As a given name, it carries the warmth and radiance of the sun itself.
Strong and luminous, Solis is a name that doesn't apologize for its brightness — a solar name for a child who will light up every room she enters.
