Commentary

Monothematic personal name in the nominative. See sol(l)- on the uncertain etymology and meaning of the base and the variation between simple and geminate /l/. For the present name, simple /l/ is more likely with regard to the attestation CIL V 6553 sola – with a Celtic patronym bituno[nis] f. – in Novara (also V 4729 solia in Brescia), but cf. also V 6094 solliae [dat.] at Milano and solos.
