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.
