Origin and meaning of Sophia
Sophia is the international spelling of Sofia, from the ancient Greek sophía (σοφία), 'wisdom' — a quality of divine knowledge honoured in Constantinople's great Hagia Sophia. Spread across Europe since the Middle Ages, it is today among the most beloved girls' names in the English-speaking world and in Germany. Its charm lies in a soft sound and instant recognizability in almost every language.
