I looked it up in other languages too, figuring if it means something in English it likely has a meaning in other romance languages:
Portuguese - woods
Romanian - silk
And matahari may be sun in Indonesian but just mata apparently means eye. It also apparently means eyes/eye in Cebuano, Filipino, Hawaiian, Indonesian, Javanese, Kinyarwanda, Malagasy, Malay, Maori, Nyanja, Odia, Samoan, Sundanese, Swahili, Tatar, Turkmen, Uygher, Xhosa, and Zulu lol
In Swedish it means feed, in Tamil, Bangla, Gujarati, and Urdu it means mother, in Telugu it means word, in Welsh it means math, in Arabic it means when, in Czech it means mint, in Finnish it means rotten, in Japanese it means also, in Kannada it means vote, in Norwegian it means must take, and in Polish it just means mat.
lol

I think “matahari” is literally “eye of the day” or “day eye” :)
So many meanings! Very much not a name. But I still think it sounds cool!
