You only need names for things if there are more than one of them. Since there is only one sun in our solar system, it is called "the Sun". In Latin, the name is "Sol", which means "sun".
Earth's moon is called "the Moon", because it is the only one. We need names for the moons of other planets, because there are several; Mars has 2, Jupiter 63 (at last count), Saturn a couple of dozen or more. Even Pluto has two.

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.
