What Does the Name Sophia Mean?

Sophia comes from the ancient Greek word sophia (σοφία), meaning wisdom. In early Christian and Gnostic traditions Sophia was the personification of divine wisdom, often depicted as a feminine spirit alongside or within the divine. The name was used by Byzantine empresses and saints, then carried into European royal houses where it appeared in countless queens and princesses. Sophia entered top-10 baby name lists across Europe and the Americas in the 2000s and remains a cross-cultural favorite — used in Italian, Spanish, German, Russian, and English-speaking countries with only minor spelling variations.
