Sofie

Sofie is a Germanic and Scandinavian form of Sophia, derived from the ancient Greek word sophia, meaning wisdom. The name became widely popular across Europe largely through the influence of early Christian saints and the Byzantine imperial tradition that prized the concept of divine wisdom. It has been borne by numerous European noblewomen and royals, reinforcing its aristocratic associations across Germany, the Low Countries, and Scandinavia. Closely related forms include Sophie, Sofia, and Zofia.
