Meaning and background
The story behind Solstice
A solstice is one of the two annual astronomical turning points when the Sun reaches its greatest northward or southward position in the sky. They mark the longest and shortest days of the year in a given hemisphere. The word comes from Latin terms associated with the sun appearing to stand still. As a pet name it carries a seasonal association, although no particular birth date can be inferred.
