Sofie

Sofie is a Germanic and Scandinavian form of Sophia, derived from the ancient Greek word sophia, meaning wisdom. The name became widely used across Europe partly through the influence of early Christian veneration of Saint Sophia and the allegorical figure of divine wisdom in religious and philosophical traditions. It has been borne by numerous European royals and noblewomen, reinforcing its aristocratic associations. Related forms include Sophie, Sofia, Zofia, and Sonja.
