Sokrates is actually a contraction (i.e. short form) of Sosikrates, because Greek names that have σῶς (sos) as the first element tend to get shortened to So-. You can find the following examples of this in the Submitted Names Database:
* Sosigenes --> Sogenes
* Sosikles --> Sokles (the sources for this one mention that Sokles could also be a pet form of Sosikles)
* Sosikrateia --> Sokrateia
* Sosipatra --> Sopatra
* Sosipatros --> Sopatros
* Sosiphanes --> Sophanes
* Sosistratos --> Sostratos
