Description
The English proper noun Sun developed from Old English sunne (around 725, attested in Beowulf), and may be related to south. Cognates to English sun appear in other Germanic languages, including Old Frisian sunne, sonne ("sun"), Old Saxon sunna, Middle Dutch sonne, modern Dutch zon, Old High German sunna, modern German Sonne, Old Norse sunna, and Gothic sunnô. All Germanic terms for the Sun stem from Proto-Germanic *sunnôn.[26][27]
In relation, the Sun is personified as a goddess in Germanic paganism; S�unna.[27] Scholars theorize that the Sun, as Germanic goddess, may represent an extension of an earlier Proto-Indo-European sun deity due to Indo-European linguistic connections between Old Norse S�Sanskrit Surya, Gaulish Sulis, Lithuanian Saulë, and Slavic Solnitse.[27]
The English weekday name Sunday is attested in Old English (Sunnand� "Sun's day", from before 700) and is ultimately a result of a Germanic interpretation of Latin dies solis, itself a translation of the Greek hem� hel�. The Latin name for the star, Sol, is widely known but is not common in general English language use; the adjectival form is the related word solar.The term sol is also used by planetary astronomers to refer to the duration of a solar day on another planet, such as Mars. A mean Earth solar day is approximately 24 hours, while a mean Martian 'sol' is 24 hours, 39 minutes, and 35.244 seconds.
