One famous bearer of this name was the Holy Martyress Sophia, who lived in Rome during the reign of the Emperor Hadrian (118-138). She was a devout Christian of noble birth. As a widow, she raised her three daughters, the Virginmartyresses Pistis (Faith), Elpis (Hope), and Agape (Agape, which is spiritual and selfless love). She and her daughters were called before Hadrian, who tried to convince them to sacrifice to the pagan goddess Artemis; the four women refused to do so. The emperor then subjected Pistis, Elpis, and Agape to many tortures, which they survived, before having them beheaded. Just before her beheading, Agape prayed to God that her mother would be spared in order to ensure that she and her sisters would be given a proper burial. God heard her prayer, and Sophia and other fellow Christians buried the three Holy Virginmartyresses. Sophia lived for three more days before she fell asleep in Christ. She and her daughters are commemorated on September 17. The basilica known as Hagia Sophia which was built during the 500s by Saint Justinian, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire (also known as the Byzantine Empire) is properly translated as Holy Wisdom, not Saint Sophia, as the name refers to “the wisdom of Christ.”

I was going to comment on AnnaSophia but that name was not in the database. So, I'll write about AnnaSophia Robb here--she is an actress who has been in 12 movies, including Bridge to Teribithia, Because of Winn-Dixie, An American Girl Holiday, and Soul Surfer. In ten of them, she had the lead role.
Sophia is one of the main characters in the awesome new NBC sci-fi series "The Event". She is an alien, of sorts, who looks just like a normal woman, but ages much more slowly and lives much longer. She is played by a pretty, red-haired actress whose name I don't know. She is the leader of the aliens, and a name meaning "wisdom" suits her perfectly. I never liked the name Sophia until I saw the show, and now it's growing on me because of the character.
