What is the meaning of the name Sofi ?

The baby name Sofi is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SO-fee.

Sofi is Armenian, French, Greek in Origin.

Sofi is chiefly an Armenian spelling of Sophie, ultimately anchored in Ancient Greek σοφία, transliterated sophía. In Greek the word is an abstract noun built from sophós, wise or skilled, with the feminine abstract suffix -ia; its literal sense is wisdom, also practical skill or learned judgment in classical usage. The name-form behind Sofi is Sophia, with Sophie as a later French form.

Sophia entered Christian naming through the veneration of Saint Sophia and the theological phrase Holy Wisdom, giving it currency in Greek, Slavic, and wider European traditions. Armenian usage reflects both ecclesiastical Greek influence and modern European naming fashions, with Sofi functioning as a compact spelling beside Sofia and Sophia. Related forms include Sophie, Sofie, Sofiya, Sofya, and Sonya. In U.S. records, Sofi appears mainly from the late twentieth century and peaked modestly in 2012.
