Comments for SOPHRONIA:
This is such a pretty name, with numerous nickname possibilities, such as Sophri, Phronia, Sonia, Ronia. It's a shame it's not used more often.-- nelirosala 6/22/2006
I love this name, it's beautiful. It was one of those names that was surprisingly trendy in 19th century America.-- Anonymous User 4/3/2007
In the "Five Little Peppers" books by Margaret Sidney, the youngest girl's name is Sophronia, but they call her Phronsie.-- Kate 5/10/2007
Sophronia Lammle is a character in "Our Mutual Friend" by Charles Dickens.-- Kate 5/10/2007
Sophronia has a lovely essence (in my eyes, that is). LOVE IT, LOVE IT.
Madam Sofronie was the name of the gypsy hair-seller in the short story "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry.-- SerabelleScabies 12/22/2007
Sophronia can also be derived from Sophronitis, which is a purple lilly flower, which therefore, in a way, Sophronia can kind of mean Purple.-- Dragon_Clarinet 6/28/2008
I love this name, as it's my own name, and it's original and not used often, I'm proud to say my name is Sophronia, and glad people like it. :D-- Sophroniah 7/3/2008
Variants can be: Safronia, Saphronia, and Sofronia is what I can think of today.-- Dragon_Clarinet 7/4/2008
I like this name a lot. In my opinion, it's girly, strong, and medieval sounding.-- Likeyeahwhatev 4/9/2009
This name manages to be both classic and modern. I love it. I think Sophy would be a nice nickname, too.-- erb816 5/23/2009
Pronounced "sə-FRO-nee-ə" in English.
I love this name and its meaning ("self-controlled, sensible"). Reminds me of the English word sophisticated too. I think of a woman named Sophronia as being very poised and self-assured, exquisite manners, brilliant conversationalist, witty, eloquent and highly educated. Very well-rounded and balanced. Almost otherworldly, as if she doesn't belong to her time - that she is either ahead of her time or from a bygone era.
Also, Sophronia is the name of a genus of moth and several species of orchid.-- Anonymous User 8/27/2009
This is so beautiful! I agree with what everyone has said to describe this name; eloquent, ethereal, like something out of a storybook. I think Nia would be a great nickname too, or just go by the full Sophronia!-- Hannah_E 6/4/2010
I think this is a rather lovely name, really nice, sensible and sophisticated, very usable and should be used more often. :)-- walesgal92 6/19/2010
Sophie would be a cute nickname too.-- Anonymous User 11/11/2010
