Sophie

Sophie is the French form of Sophia, derived from the ancient Greek word sophia, meaning wisdom. The name gained widespread use across Europe partly through Saint Sophia, an early Christian martyr venerated in both Eastern and Western traditions, and later through its popularity among European royalty, including several queens and princesses of the 18th and 19th centuries. Its enduring appeal has made it a perennial favorite in many countries. Related forms include Sophia, Sofia, Sofie, and Sophy.
