in reply to a message by Ben Solis
Here is a website that has some info on the surname Solís,
http://www.surnames.org/apellidos/solis.htm (it is all in Spanish)
Here is another fragment I got from another website,
Persiguiendo Don Pelayo a los moros que huían, mandó a uno de sus capitanes que avanzara con su gente para darles alcance, diciéndole: "Id, que sol is", significando con estas palabras que todavía era temprano para destruirlos antes de que se pusiera el sol. Y así lo hicieron, siendo denominado Solís el lugar en que se alcanzo la victoria y que el Rey Don Pelayo dió en señorío al capitán vencedor, de lo que vino que se le nombrara Solís y que sus descendientes convirtieran el nombre en apellido.
Basically what it says is that, - When King Don Pelayo was after the Moors, he told one of his captains "Id que sol is" ("go, before the sun rises) meaning that it was early enough to catch them. So when this Captain succeeded in catching the Moors, King Don Pelayo rewarded him with making him governor of the place in which he had apprehended the Moors. This land was then denominated "Solís" by the new governor and all of the governor's descendants were named Solís, after the deeds.
Hope this helps a little. Buena suerte,
Magia.
