I googled "Soltis" and found that it has sth. do to with the "sun" or "sunbeam". And immediately these Turkic words with the meaning "star" came into my mind:
Yıldız - Turkish
Ulduz - Azerbaijani
Ýyldyz - Turkmen
Yoldız - Tatar
Yondoð - Bashkir
Juldız - Kazakh
Jıldız - Kyrgyz
Yulduz - Uzbek
Yultuz - Uyghur
Sulus - Sakha/Yakut
Śăltăr - Chuvash
s/y and r/s/z correspondences are typical for Turkic dialectic shifts. Interestingly "sol" in Romanic, Celtic and many other IE languages means also sun.
