Sofi
Girl name · 7 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Sofi: 7 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2009.
Originally a diminutive of Sophia, Sofi shares the same Greek root meaning "wisdom" and has emerged as a lively standalone name across many cultures. Bulgarian pop-folk singer Sofi Marinova and the American electronic duo Sofi Tukker (named after co-founders Sofi and Tucker) both bring a modern, energetic feel to this short form. While there are no major places directly named after a Sofi, the full name Sophia appears in countless locations worldwide, including the Bulgarian capital's oldest church, the Hagia Sophia. Interestingly, Sofi is also a common spelling in Scandinavian countries, where it serves as a brisk, cheerful alternative to the longer Sophia, giving parents a crisp yet deeply meaningful choice with roots stretching back to ancient Greece.
