Solinus is a boy's name, perhaps best known as the Duke of Ephesus in Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors. A notably sympathetic character, Solinus is marked by his deep respect for the law. However, as far as etymology, Solinus remains quite a mystery. At best, Solinus could be a variant of the Latin sōlānus, meaning "pertaining to the sun" or, rarer still, "the east wind."
