Sophronisia is Greek in Origin.

Sophronisia is a rare Greek feminine name formed from the classical root sōphrōn, “of sound mind, prudent,” and aligned with sōphrosynē, the ancient ideal of self‑control and temperance. The -isia ending reflects a Hellenic feminine pattern seen in names like Artemisia, giving the sense of “one marked by sound judgment.” Together the elements convey steadiness, moderation, and wise restraint - virtues celebrated by philosophers from Plato to the Stoics.

Its use has been sporadic in Greek-speaking and Orthodox milieus, where related forms are more familiar. The streamlined Sophronia/Sofronia enjoyed modest 19th‑century Anglophone visibility, while Sophronisia has remained exceptionally uncommon and feels antique or scholarly today. Variants and cognates include Sophronisía (Modern Greek accenting), Sofronisia, Sophronia/Sofronia, and the masculine Sophronios/Sophronius; Slavic relatives appear as Sofroniy/Sofrony.
