        Ours is the only Solar system, because our star is named Sol. Other star systems have other names.

          The “Sol” name is actually more of a science-fiction, pop-culture thing. It’s just called “the Sun”. “Solar” comes from latin Solaris, meaning “pertaining to the sun”, “sol” itself meaning “sun”.

            Well in some languages other than English the sun is actually called “Sol”.

              Oh, I believe you. It’s most likely because of the shared Latin root. The comment I was responding to was in English, though.
