In his 1939 book Weyl indeed used $O^+$ instead of SO, and called it the proper orthogonal group, but he did use the notation SU, or more precisely $^s$U with a tiny superscript s. <IMG SRC="http://ilorentz.org/beenakker/MO/sU.png"> The name "special unitary group" does not appear, it is alsways "unimodular". The footnote on the name "symplectic group", from the same book, is amusing: <IMG SRC="http://ilorentz.org/beenakker/MO/symplectic.png">
