Sofia for the city and Sophie for the proper noun are French equivalents of "Sofia."

Specifically, French language speakers try to respect the original language of a proper noun. So the name is the same in French as in Bulgarian for Bulgaria's national capital. But the feminine first name becomes Sophie in French.

The respective pronunciations are "soh-FEE-ah" and "soh-fee."
