There are many myths that tell this story. Linguistically, however, the English word "sun" comes from Old English (Anglo-Saxon) "sunne," which in turn came from Germanic "sunno." All of these words meant "sun."
Also,Germanic "sunno" came from the Indo-European word "suwen" or "sawen," which was an alternate form of the Indo-European word "sawel," which meant "to shine" or "the sun." The origin of the name "Sun" is probably at least three thousand years old, because it can be traced back all the way to the Indo-European language, which is the ancestor language to many languages of today, including English, French, German, Spanish, Greek, and Persian. There is no hidden or other meaning to the name "Sun": It is just the name of that big bright light that is in the sky during the day. the sun does mean that but it means something else also. (Edit by Lolzylooz) The saxon/germanic/danish goddess of the sun was known as sunna. It is unknown who firstnamed the sun, but this is my guess. Sorry i can't be of any more help. xVx
