Sonyae is a modern feminine name that appears to be a creative variation of Sonya or Sonia. The unique spelling adds a contemporary flair to the traditional name. Sonya itself derives from Russian, serving as a diminutive of Sophia, which means 'wisdom' in Greek. The addition of the 'ae' ending gives Sonyae a distinctive, melodic quality while maintaining the soft sound of the original.
