A name that means "sun (norse goddess; also spanish)".

Sól (Old Norse: "sun") — also spelled Sol in Spanish and Portuguese — has multiple traditions: the Norse goddess Sól drives her chariot across the sky each day, pursued by the wolf Sköll who will devour her at Ragnarök; in Spanish, Sol means "sun" and is a common feminine name. Sól is the only personification of the Sun as feminine in the major Indo-European traditions (Greek and Roman sun-gods are male).

Featured in the Poetic Edda Vafþrúðnismál and Sólarljóð.

Where Sól stands.

Sól does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
