Sofiah
Meaning of Sofiah
Sofiah (so-FY-uh) is a spirited twist on classic Sophia, springing from the Greek word for “wisdom” and echoing the Arabic Safiyah, “pure friend.” Like sunlight skipping over a Spanish plaza, the name feels bright, warm, and just a touch exotic. She’s hovered around the edge of the U.S. Top 1,000 for two decades—never everywhere, always familiar—so parents get the best of both worlds: recognizable and rare. Storytellers picture Sofiah with a curious grin and a stack of well-loved books; abuelas imagine her cracking jokes at a family fiesta. Because her pronunciation stays the same on both sides of the Atlantic, Sofiah travels as smoothly as a postcard from Madrid to Miami. In short, this name wraps timeless wisdom in a fresh flamenco swirl, promising that the little girl who wears it will carry insight and spark wherever she goes.
