How to call a girl correctly - Sofia, Sophia or Sonya? Are there any differences in the names of Sofia, Sophia and Sonya?
Content
One of the most popular names for a girl today is the name Sofia. Almost every third girl is called this beautiful name. However, very often the parents of the Sofyk babies face the inconsistencies regarding this name. In our country, it is customary to generalize and distort names - many confuse the name Marina and Maria, Ksyusha and Ksenia, etc. In the same way happens with Sofia. There are a huge number of interpretations of this name - Sofia, Sofia, Sonya, Sophie, etc. How to understand all this confusion?
Sophia, Sofia, Sonya, Sofa: different names or not?
- It is worth saying right away that we will not be able to set up all points over I in this article. The fact is that there is such a category of parents who basically insist on the uniqueness and individuality of the name of their child. At every opportunity, in various situations, for all acquaintances and strangers, they put accents on the fact that the names of Sofia, Sophia and Sonya are completely different. This is their full right, and to convince them in the opposite is simply pointless.
- Often girls are called the names of Sofia or Sophia. The name Sonya is most often a diminutive interpretation of these names. However, some people deliberately call their crumbs with sleeping and in the passport they also indicate this name, and not the name Sophia or Sophia. On this occasion, one can say only one thing - this is a personal matter of parents - as they want, they call it.
- If you turn to anthroponymy (science involved in the study of people's names), then she still believes that the names of Sofia, Sofia and Sonya are derivatives from the same name. To their number you can also add the names of Sophie, Sofa, Sofushka, Sophia, Sonya, Sofyushka, etc.
According to anthroponymy, Sofia and Sophia are the same name that sounds in different languages, but the name Sonya is already a derivative of these names.
Sofia or Sophia - what to call the full name correctly?
- The question of how to call the girl Sophia or Sofia correctly depends on her parents. It is they who decide which letters will stand in the name of the daughter in the documents. By the way, due to such inaccuracies, there are sometimes very large difficulties in various state authorities related to documentation. One letter can sometimes bring a bunch of problems.
- If the parents initially decided that Sophia would call their baby, then they should keep the defense to the end and indicate this name in all documents.
- If the girl was given the name Sofia, then inaccuracy can arise at the baptism of the crumbs, since in the old Russian and church vocabulary there is only the name Sophia. In other words, in the testimony of the baptism of the baby they call Sophia, not Sofia.
What is the difference between the name Sophia and Sofia?
- Sophia was most often called girls in Russia. This name constantly appears in books and films describing the lives of our ancestors. Perhaps this is precisely why in Orthodoxy only the name Sophia is also listed.
- The name Sofia is of Greek origin. Today he is most often associated with Bulgaria and its capital. As for religion, Sofia is a Catholic name.
Can Sofia be called Sophia?
- The answer to this question will also be completely dependent on the girl, her parents and relatives. If the child and her relatives like both names, and they do not see any particular difference in them, then why not.
- If for the baby herself and her environment it is extremely important that the name of the girl is pronounced correctly, then do not upset them.

Not accuracy in the article. We called the daughter Sofia- this is the right name. Sophia is a simplified option. And when the daughter was baptized, she was baptized as Sofia, and not as Sophia. And your article indicates the opposite
I absolutely agree with Julia! There is an Orthodox holiday on September 17 Faith, hope, love and mother Sofia. We also called our daughter Sofia and baptized her with the same name !!!
The article says everything correctly. Sophia is a Russian interpretation. Sofia is a European, Greek analogue. All our grandmothers and great -grandmothers were called sofya, sofuses, and the Russian classics called their characters.
Sonya Marmeladov was precisely Sophia. Yes, and Sofya is more beautiful, more dearly.
I think Sophia is Sonya, and Sofia is Sofa or Sophie.
Sofia is Sophia, Sonya, Sofa, Sophie, etc., but they will be baptized only as Sofia !!! The author confused everything !! go to church, they will confirm you. Therefore, in the birth certificate, so that there was no confusion, it is better to write Sofia.
I have Sophia, and at the age of 9, she does not like it when she is called Sofiyka, so I say Sonya or Sofyushka) what's the difference, said that Sophia called you, introduced herself to Sofia well, well done. Still sleeping)))
My daughter’s name is Sofia and baptized her Sofia, but Sofu who was baptized with us baptized Sophia. So why? If, as they say, the name is the same?

PEOPLE! Sofia and Sophia are different names !!! I was baptized as Sofia and in the testimony I Sofia. All Sofia is customary to reduce as a sofa, I have a niece Sofia and her contraction of her Sof.

Sofia - Sophia, Sonya, Sofa, Sophike, The Other Name is diminutive! The author is wrong, Sofia is also recorded in the church! My daughter Sofia and, according to evidence and baptism, we call her mainly Sofia, but they also call Sofiy, Sofyushka, Sofulya, but there are those who call Sonya, not in the family, but we do not mind. He will grow to grow herself as she likes and will be called.

What is the name of the girl
My name is Sofia, and I do not like it terribly when they call me Sophia. There is the name Ivan, there is John, there is an English analogue of the name - John. One name, but you need to call a person as he introduced himself and how his name is written in the document. Sophia-Russian name, Sofia-Greek, diminutive and mansion sonya, sofa, sophia, sophie, etc. It is better to use with the permission of the named medium! In order not to cause negative emotions that can lead to discord in a relationship!
It’s as they call me, Vitya, Vitak)) Although I am Vitalik)) annoys, but as they say that they say that these are the same in different forms))) So these are different names, for me, just production. Forms. Unlike the names of Sophia and Sofia - the names of Greek origin, the name Sonya is a purely Russian diminutive name.
