Name Profile

Sofia

Sophia is a popular girl’s name that means “wisdom.” From the Greek σοφία, Sophia was an important Hellenistic, Platonic, and Gnostic concept denoting cleverness, intelligence, and wisdom—even forming the root of the word philosophy, meaning “love of wisdom.” In the contemporary English-speaking world, Sophia has become wildly popular as a given name, where it is noted for its graceful femininity and European flare. If you’re hoping to give baby that will imbue her with sagacity while still turning heads, Sophia is a wise choice.
