The name Philosophia is a girl's name of Greek origin meaning "lover of wisdom".

Love Sophia but want a truly bold choice too? You could try Sophronia, but Philosophia is a rarer option still. 
 
Associated with the word philosophy, it combines the Greek elements philos and sophia meaning "lover" and "wisdom, cleverness" respectively. Philosophus and Philosophos are masculine forms (and a saint's name).
 
Nicknames include Phia, Pippa, Sophie, and Sophia, and while it may be a lot to wear for a baby, it could certainly work as a name for a wise character in fiction.
