"Renegades" were just players who were banished from their own faction. That doesn't make them a solo. The same goes for Mercenaries. In either case, one could still party up, or be part of guilds, but not be associated with their Race.

While "Solo player" is a pretty general term used in most MMOs, I don't think we know much about any Solo players in Alfheim. Even Kirito ends up playing regularly with other players, including his friends.

Anyways, I don't think the word "coined" is appropriate, seeing as "coined" means that Alfheim itself created the term "solo player"
