• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sotirios (in English; states that Sotiris is a common variant of Sotirios)
• see the entry for Sotiris at Pavlos' Etymologica: http://web.archive.org/web/20120325073859/http://www.etymologica.com/page47.htm (in English; states that Sotiris is not just a variant, but an informal one at that!)

Sotiris can also be the modern Greek transcription of the ancient Greek name Soteris. Depending on the gender of the bearer, it was written as Σωτήρις (masculine) and Σωτηρίς (feminine). There were more female bearers (by far) than male bearers in ancient times. One of them was a saint from the early 4th century AD.
