A statue of Sophia, the personification of wisdom, in the Celsus Library in Ephesus, Turkey.

Sophia, also spelled Sofia, is a feminine given name, from Greek Σοφία, Sophía, "Wisdom". Other forms include Sophie and Sofie. The given proper noun is first recorded in the beginning of the fourth century.^[two] It is a mutual female person name in the Eastern Orthodox countries. It became very popular in the W beginning in the later 1990s and became one of the most popularly given girls' names in the Western world in the first decades of the 21st century.

Popularity [edit]

Sophia was known as the personification of wisdom by early Christians and Saint Sophia is also an early Christian martyr. Both associations contributed to the usage of the proper noun. The name was comparatively common in continental Europe in the medieval and early modern period. It was popularized in Britain past the German House of Hanover in the 18th century. It was repeatedly popularised amongst the wider population, by the name of a character in the novel Tom Jones (1794) by Henry Fielding, in The Vicar of Wakefield (1766) by Oliver Goldsmith, and in the 1960s by Italian actress Sophia Loren (b. 1934).

Sophia was comparatively popular in the Usa in the late 19th and early 20th century; its use declined in the 1920s to 1950s; it became again moderately popular during the 1960s to 1980s.

During the 1990s to 2010s the popularity of the name rose dramatically in many countries throughout the western world. Suggested influences for this trend include Sofía Vergara and Sofia Coppola (pop from the late 1990s) and Sofia Hellqvist (popular from the 2000s).^[3] Sophia and variants of the proper name remain among the virtually currently popularly given names for girls in countries across Europe as well as countries in North and Southward America, Commonwealth of australia, New Zealand, and others.^[4]

Name variants [edit]

Greek Σοφία was adopted without significant phonological changes into numerous languages, as Sophia (High german, and thence English) and Sofia (Romance languages, and thence also to Germanic languages and Finnish, etc.). The spelling Soffia is Icelandic and Welsh. Hungarian has Zsófia. Modernistic Spanish uses the acute diacritic, Sofía. Southward and Eastward Slavic and Baltic languages accept Sofija (Софија), Sofiya (София) and Sofya (Софья). West Slavic (Polish and Czech-Slovak) introduced a voiced sibilant, Zofia, Žofia, Žofie.

French has the (disyllabic) hypocoristic Sophie, which was as well introduced in High german, Dutch/Flemish, English and Scandinavian in the spelling Sofie. A Dutch hypocoristic is Sofieke. Russian has the hypocoristic Соня (Sonya), which in the belatedly 19th century was introduced to Western languages, in the spellings Sonya, Sonia and Sonja, via characters with this name in the novels Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1866, English translation 1885) and War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy (1869, English translation 1886).

Turkish Safiye is from the unrelated Arabic Safiyya ( صفية "pure").

Persian Sofia (Western farsi: صوفیا) is from unrelated Sufi, a sect of Islam.
