Sophia is not a Latin Name, in fact it is derived from the Ancient Greek meaning "light". In refrencing "light" it refrences a meaning for wisdom as in to see the light or discovery, not the literal term of the word light. Sophia is a very Greek name, and Sophia is spread throughout the Orthodox and Catholic Worlds so many assume it is latin, but in fact, Sophia derives from the Greek word for Wisdom. Agia Sophia in Istanbul, is the largest Church erected in honor of St. Sophia in the world (Agia in Greek means Saint) it is also the third largest church in the world with the largest free standing dome in constructed in any other building. Sophia is also the capital city of Bulgaria, an Orthodox country. Sophia today takes on several meanings, in America, Sophia, Sophie are common names, while in Greece, Sophia is one of the most popular names for girls.
