The story behind the name
Meet Sophie.
Sophie is the French form of Sophia, a Greek name meaning wisdom. It can also function as a familiar form of Sophia, but it is established as a complete given name in its own right.
The two-syllable English pronunciation gives it a different rhythm from Sophia's three syllables. Parents comparing the pair can keep the same meaning while choosing the ending and degree of formality they prefer.
