Wait a second. This is listed as English and a variant of Sophie. Sophie is listed as French. So shouldn't this be listed as an English variant of Sophie?
Actually, the Sophy is a variety of rose, which has a pale pink colour. I was named after said rose, and I actually prefer this flower-name meaning to the stodgy, traditionally-associated "wisdom".
Sophy is the English pet form of Sophia. It was commonly spelled this way in the 18th and 19th centuries.
