Etymology

Probably from Proto-Indo-European *(s)ḱów-no- (“luminous; vibrant”), perhaps an extension of *(s)ḱew- (“to shine”), and related to शुच् (śuc, “to shine”), शुध् (śudh, “to purify”), and शुभ् (śubh, “to beautify”); outside of Indic, compare perhaps Tocharian A koṃ (“sun, day”), Tocharian B kauṃ (“sun, day”), Welsh cun (“lovely”), Russian суни́ка (suníka, “wild strawberry”).
