Sofia (Sophia) - the name of ancient Greek origin, translated into Russian means - wisdom. The name came to Russia with the adoption of Orthodoxy, before that it was common in Byzantium. The canonical church version is the generally accepted colloquial form of the name - Sophia.
The name began to be used in Russia from the 13th century - this fact is documented in ancient Russian sources, its main carriers were girls of aristocratic blood. The name passed from generation to generation from generation to generation.

As a child, Sonya is too active and energetic, she will not sit in one place for a minute, and she can chat for hours without giving her parents peace. She is somewhat afraid of strangers, shows modesty and, it would seem, closes herself. Fortunately, Sofia quickly adapts to the new situation and in a couple of hours she’s ready to not go a step away from the “stranger”, attacking him with her childish charm.
At school, Sofia studies well, because she knows the word "necessary", knowledge is not given to her easily, she has to achieve everything with great work and perseverance. The girl gets along with everyone in the class, as she is able to find a compromise in any sensitive situation. She participates in all school events, competitions and contests, helps younger and lagging peers in school.
Moving from childhood, Sofia and in adulthood does a lot. She is sociable and, undoubtedly, should know everything about everyone. The girl is changeable in interests and pursuits, does not like to remain in the shade and everything that lasts a long time.
Sophia is too frank, she can spend hours talking with her friends about her affairs, but listening to the problem of another person, delving into it and giving practical advice is always glad. Everyone knows that you can turn to her for psychological help and advice. Sofia is a devoted friend and will not give up in a difficult life situation.

Sonya is a very passionate nature, able to give a man an unearthly pleasure, care and love, but in return she will require the same thing from a partner.
