Sophia

Sophia is a girl’s name of Greek origin. Before this moniker became a first name, it was an Ancient Greek word that translated to "wisdom" or "knowledge." The English term "philosophy" actually finds its roots in this word, so Sophia is a lovely choice if you'd like to share a love of learning with your little one. Whether they're an avid reader or they like to study the world's animals, trees, and birds, sweet Sophia will inevitably be a clever kiddo. Sophia also has plenty of respellings and variants, and The Bump community member alliejo725, recites them perfectly, "Sophia is the original name (the Greek version), Sofia is the Italian variant, and Sophie is French." Hearing all these variants of Sophia may remind you of the famous individuals who've carried them, from American director Sofia Coppola to Italian actress Sophia Loren.
