This
is a female name derived from Sophía / Sofía, the Greek word for "wisdom,
knowledge, teaching, skill related to everyday life, sound judgment,
prudence". In turn the name is closely linked to the term “sophós, meaning
”clever, skillful, cunning, able, intelligent, wise, prudent”. Sophia, and
other variants such as Sonia and Sonja, is a feminine given name in many areas
of the world including Russia, Iran, Pakistan and India. Sonja and Sonya are
Russian variations of Sophia. The name was popularized by a 1917 bestselling
novel, Sonia by Stephen McKenna. It was used to represent the personification
of wisdom and is also the name of an early Christian martyr. Sophia is one of
the most popular names in the world
