This name is Russian it means wisdom. I have lived with this name 30 years and wouldn’t trade it. We are unique, only about 61,512 girls since 1880 have been given this name. Over 2,000 of them were in 1960s.
No it is not a pet form, it is the Russian version of Sophia.
Sonja is the Russian pet form of the Greek name Sophia.
I believe Sonya also derives from the Greek Sophia, which means wisdom.
