    The “Sol” name is actually more of a science-fiction, pop-culture thing. It’s just called “the Sun”. “Solar” comes from latin Solaris, meaning “pertaining to the sun”, “sol” itself meaning “sun”.

        Oh, I believe you. It’s most likely because of the shared Latin root. The comment I was responding to was in English, though.
