Sophia is from the Ancient Greek σοφία (sofia) meaning "wisdom, cleverness". In classical philosophy, Sophia was not just general intelligence but a deep, spiritual wisdom, it was the understanding of the innate nature of things. Considered one of the four cardinal virtues in ancient Greece it was adopted into early Christian theology as the personification of divine wisdom. Then, in Gnosticism, Sophia is a feminine figure, analogous to the human soul but also simultaneously one of the feminine aspects of God and possibly the Holy Spirit of the Trinity.

I'm sure you've noticed that I'm a sucker for a name with meanings related to wisdom and the soul.

Despite experincing a major rise in popularity in the last two decades and worldwide popularity, there's still something sweet and timeless about it.

For me, Sophia is warm and creamy—as all my favorites are—but also cool and studious. Sophia is one of those "any girl" types of names.
