Hi everyone!

I'm just wondering if anyone knows whether Sofiya/Sofiyah/Sophiya is an islamic name and if so what is the meaning of it?

Thanks for replies in advance :thumbs_up

P.S. Sorry if this is in the wrong place again :X
 
I'm not sure if its an Islamic name...my friend is Iranian and her names Sofia and she's Muslim....I know it means wisdom in Greek.
 
It actually is an Islamic name, I have a cousin named that..

I heard Sophiya is like almost Safiyah.
 
Would it still be Islamic if I were to spell it with a Y, i.e. Sofiya/Sofiyah instead of Sofia?

Sorry, but I don't really trust the names sites because some of the ones i've been on have different meanings on each for the same name :-/

I think u can spell it really however way u see fit...:p:
There are no rules..

Which way do u like the most? :sunny:

Example: Some people will spell Mohamed Mohammed, Mohamad, Mohhammed.

Btw Muslims are allowed to have non-arabic names so long it's not a demeaning/bad name..So there is really no requirement to have an arabic name.

Yup, plenty of names that are usually considered Muslim names aren't even Arabic. Take 'Khan' as an example.

I like this name, but it's not Arabic and it's not like Safiyyah, it's got Greek origins and means "wisdom" which is a very nice meaning and totally accepted as a name of a Muslim girl. Safiyyah, on the other hand, comes from "al-safa'" which means purity in Arabic, and you can see the difference between both meanings.

I had a question about 'Khan', but I never found an answer. Is that a family Name ?
 
what is Islamic names?

in Islam there is no Islamic names.. any name is allowed

but there is just one condition: it must has good meaning
even if the name came from Mars.. it is OK if it has good meaning

about "Sofiya", it depends..
if it is ( Sofia صوفيا ), I don't know the meaning, the other members have said that it means "wisdom"

but it written as "Sofiya/Sofiyah/Sophiya".. so it is not "صوفيا".. it is "صوفية"
and this means "mystic"

this is what I think!
 
I think YES

Edit: I mean 'mystic' would be a good meaning.
