Sole proprietor is a standard English term. 'Proprietor' means owner. 'Sole' means alone.
Sole trader is a standard English term, perhaps most common in the UK. A 'trader' is someone who buys and sells (though not necessarily across borders). 'Sole' means alone.
Sole entrepreneur seems more commonly used outside English-speaking countries. The word 'entrepreneur' seems to be favoured by Polish lawyers writing in English – perhaps because it has the same number of syllables as 'przedsiębiorca'!
