It comes from Old Irish meaning "lighting up" == == It could also come from the saxon word ertha, the saxon/germanic/dutch goddess of the earth. But the truth is that nobody can really tell who first named the sun and how or why.
The Greeks called it Helios, the Romans Sol. The German word was Sonne, from which we derived the Old English Sunne, eventually simply shortened to "sun."
Our sun is a medium sized star located about 30,000 light years from the galactic core.
I got this is from wikipedia:
The Sun is sometimes referred to by its Latin name Sol or by its Greek name Helios. The English word sun stems from Old High German sunna, but took the male gender of the Latin sol (the sun, "he", but now also "it"). Its astrological and astronomical symbol is a circle with a point at its center: .
"Sol" is the Greek word for "Sun God". Although our sun does not have an official name,
this is commonly used in discussion (as in "Solar system" and "Solar eclipse".
The name for the sun could also come from the Saxon word 'Sunna', but nobody really
knows exactly what, where or who the sun was named by/after.
"Sol" is the Latin word for "sun;" "solar" means "relating to the sun." So therefore, "solar system" is a system relating to the sun. I don't know the when of it, but it was likely in the 1600s.
The Greek word for the sun was Helios (from which we get the word helium). The Roman's called it sol. Our word "sun" comes from the German sonne, or Goth sunno, which became sunne in Old English and was shortened to "sun".
The Russian word is pronounced "solntsye." The Spanish and Latin word sol remain the same. In French it is now "soleil."
The sun has many names in many different cultures but it doesn't actually have a proper name. Many cultures refer to it as "Sol" which is the name of the Roman equivalent to the Greek sun god Helios.
Solar means sun. therefore, solar system-sun system.
Sol is the name of our sun;
so Solar system is what all the objects orbiting the sun is called.
The sun has many different names in different cultures and languages.
The scientific name for it in modern days is Sol which is the Latin name.

The sun and its family of planets has a description, not a name. It is "the solar system." The word "solar" means "pertaining to the sun." Thus "the solar system" is the system of objects and gases that pertain to the sun. The word "Sol," Latin for "the sun," is sometimes used as the name of our sun in fiction, but until we actually have populations resident in other solar systems, there is no need to give ours a name. It is "the" solar system, the way the navy of the United Kingdom is simply "The" Royal Navy. Only the others need names, to distinguish them from "the" original.
