feminine · English (Rare) origin
Sophy is an English given name derived from the Greek root sophia, meaning wisdom. It functions as an anglicized spelling variant of Sophie and shares its origins with the more classical form Sophia, all of which trace back to the same Greek source. The name was used in English-speaking contexts from at least the early modern period and appears in literature and correspondence as a genteel familiar form. Sophia, Sophie, and Sofia are the most widely used cognates across European traditions.
