older version of nikk (on sakura-paris): 「ウンスン」はum sum(mo) ポルトガルか。一説にウンは大黒・福禄寿などの福の神の絵札...
more recent version (on kotobank) skips the "um summo" theory entirely: カードの呼び名の内のウンとスンとによる称。 
(the two court cards unique to unsun and not in tensho decks are called "un" and "sun". their values are 14 and 15)
I think the alleged Portuguese origin of the word is just poorly founded speculation that's been thoughtlessly reproduced in various 
dictionaries and encyclopedias. The earliest known mention of the game in literature is from the 1680's, long after the Portuguese 
were gone.
