Thinking about the name
Sofia
Greek origin
“Derived from the Greek 'sophia,' meaning 'wisdom'—a virtue prized across cultures for millennia. Sofia rose to prominence through Byzantine imperial courts and became a staple of European royalty, from Russian tsarinas to Spanish infantas. Its classical elegance and intellectual association make it perpetually sophisticated while remaining genuinely warm.”
