Interesting Alani...is it Latin? And if so did the isle of Sully off Cardiff get the same name for a similar reason. Because there are conflicts of interest in definition there. More importantly as the Western seaboard of Britain to include the Bristol channel may or may no be 'sunny'.

What then was the reference/name alluding to? Sunshine on the islands. Topo features...climate?

The Romans called it Sully, so Latin, yep. As for the isle near Cardiff, as the nearby village of Sully too, might have its origin with a Norman called Sir Reginald de Sully, or even from the Welsh term Sili, which may have meant South Lea, or South Pasture.
