No, in English you only use the term the Sun to describe this object.
Helios (which is the Greek word for the Sun) and Sol (which is the Latin equivalent) are not standalone words in astronomical terms in English. They are used, though, to describe anything related to the Sun.
For example, check out these astronomical terms: helioseismology, heliograph, heliographic chart, heliographic coordinates, solar corona, solar energy, solar power, solar flares etc.

Tattie is right--another name for our sun is Sol.
It is where the phrase "solar system" derives from.

And the moon has a name too. Luna. That's where we get the term lunar.
