Serafia

Also spelled as Serafiia, this name is a variation of Serapia, itself derived from Serapis, a Greco-Egyptian god, formed by fusing the sacred bull Apis with the god of the dead, Osiris. It is notably born by a 2nd-century saint, who was beheaded after she refused to worship the Roman Gods.

This form is used in Swedish and Finnish, while elsewhere, Seraphia and Seraphie may be used. Thought to come from the Egyptian asar meaning "eye" or "mighty", some may additionally consider it as a creative twist on Serafina, a name inspired by a group of Biblical angels.

Pronounced ser-AH-fee-ah.
