Additional comments
I have tested this on 10 joomla websites, with php 5.6.x and 7.x, the result is the same!
Tested on Chrome, Firefox, Edge.
Is "sun" a magic word???
If you write "sun" or "Sun" or "SUN" the result is the same. If i write "Sun " (with a space at the end) i can see "Sun" in menu voice.
It's so weird!

UPDATE
I have found in /language/it-IT/it-IT.ini string translations for SUN to Dom (Domenica in italian).
No auto translate, we have tested with many people, is a clean joomla installation.
The real problem is that if i write in menu voice, in "title" field, any EN COSTANT that i have in Joomla language file for italian, i see the translation in joomla administrator!
Can you try after installing it_IT language?
Example
Becomes
Is it an expected behavior that menu item fields use language overrides?
The language strings should not be able to change user created text
You have discovered a bug!!! I can confirm this with any language
By turning on language debug I can see that Joomla is trying to translate that string because it is wrapped in the **
This should not happen

Oh yes, I saw. For now I will use "sun" with a space. Is there anything that can be "patched" for now?
it will need investigating to find the problem. it should not have been effecting the front end of the site
@infograf768 @wilsonge any ideas
Maybe this?
4e156fa#diff-9fff16ee0e30dd09816ee172c6f5909a
"Translate menu item titles in list view. Ref #2"
Sounds like thats a possibility
The problem is in the function here
and specifically this line which should have a check to ensure that the client_id != 0
$item->title = JText::_($item->title);
Fix coming

Great! Thanks a lot!
I am going to guess that you either have a browser plugin that is autotranslating from English to Italian or you have a joomla plugin that is doing the same.
If you check in the database I am pretty certain you will find that it is written as Sun in the database
