Soph Origin and Meaning

The name Soph is a girl's name.

Soph is a diminutive form of Sophia, which derives from the Greek word 'sophia' meaning 'wisdom'. This short, sweet nickname has gained popularity as both a standalone name and a familiar form of Sophia or Sophie. As a given name in its own right, Soph has a modern, minimalist appeal that fits with contemporary naming trends favoring brief, punchy names. While not as commonly used as the full forms Sophia or Sophie (which have been among the most popular girls' names worldwide in recent decades), Soph offers a trendy alternative with the same elegant heritage but a more casual, approachable quality.
