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 ancient Greeks or Romans. Sun is Latin for "Sol". It is known by different names in different cultures. The Russian word for Sun is ÑолнÑе. The Portuguese use Sol. And in Finnish it is aurinko. Finally, the Egyptian word for Sun was Amon-Ra, Generally shortened to just Ra.

That's a very good question. One which I've wondered and don't have an answer for. :-(
