"Sylvia" is an English equivalent of the French name "Sylvie."

Specifically, the French noun is a feminine proper name. It traces its origins back to the ancient Latin name "Silvia." Its original meaning of "related to the woods" translates into French as "relatif au bois."

The respective pronunciations of the French proper name and of the French meaning are "seel-vee" and "ruh-lah-tee-faoh bwah."
