Derived from Greek σωφροσύνη (sôphrosynê) meaning "moderation, prudence, self-control, temperance". Also compare Sophron. She was the spirit or personification of moderation, self-control, temperance, restraint, and discretion in Greek mythology. In some tales Sophrosyne was one of the good spirits released from Pandora's box, but fled to Olympus and away from humankind.
