Pomorian

Alternative forms

saulna - in Southern and Eastern dialects. sulnika - in Central-Eastern dialects.

Etymology

From Old Pomorian sāuliā + the suffix -n. Proto-Balto-Slavic *saul-, *saulē. Cognates include Latvian saũle, Old Prussian saule, Proto-Slavic *sъlnь (*sъlnьce is a diminutive). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *sóh₂wl̥; compare with Ancient Greek ἥλιος (hḗlios) (*sāwel-iyos), Old High German, Old Norse sunna).

The origin of the suffix -n is uncertain, possibly from Old Pomorian word sāulines - sunlike, solar.
