Zophia stands as a modern twist on the venerable Greek name Sophia, deriving from the ancient Greek sophia, meaning “wisdom.” The substitution of Z for S offers a discrete flourish that appeals to parents seeking timeless resonance with a hint of individuality. Pronounced ZOH-fee-uh (/zoʊˈfiə/) in English, it maintained a modest presence in U.S. birth data in 2024—twenty-eight newborns bore the name, ranking it #922—illustrating its steady but low-key popularity. It never quite storms the charts, yet never fully retreats into obscurity, making Zophia an appealing choice for those who value a blend of classical depth and quiet originality.
