Great Earlysun
The day the sundial runs furthest ahead of the clock.
The solar day is exactly 24 hours, and from here the Sun starts to lose ground.
On the figure, the curve’s furthest point on this side comes a day or two away from this moment: the moment is measured in clock minutes, the figure in angles on the sky. See the analemma.
The name
Names ending in -sun say where the Sun stands against the clock: early, even or late. Great and Lesser tell the two peaks apart by size.
Precision
A flat peak: the value barely changes for days on either side, so the exact hour means little.

Every year
Between 1900 and 2100 it comes as early as November 2 at 10:28 UTC (2092) and as late as November 4 at 07:58 UTC (1903).Dates wobble through each four-year leap cycle and creep earlier across a century, until a skipped leap day, as in 1900 and 2100, sets them back.
