About Sosie
Sweet and cosy but with substance too, Sosie is a rare, multicultural name. Used as a short form of Susan, Sosan, Sophie and Sophia, it could make a fresh alternative to Suzy, Izzy, or Josie; alternatively, it's an Armenian name in its own right, derived from Sosi meaning "palm tree".
Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon chose this unusual diminutive for their daughter back in 1992. It is believed they have been inspired by the Latin name Sosia, which appears in an ancient Roman play, and means "saviour", or by the French word sosie meaning "lookalike", adding more layers to this charming name.
Pronounced SO-see.
As of October 2026, Sosie ranked #10022 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #8907 in 2023.
