Yes, I know, it’s the plural form of Sun, but the word Sun likely predates our understanding that stars and our Sun are the same thing.

I get “stars”, but where did “suns” come from?

    I think they were using phrases like “burn you with the heat of a thousand suns!” Long before they realized there actually were more suns out there.
