sophia

Gnostic wisdom principle

Sophia is a Greek word meaning wisdom, borrowed into English primarily as a philosophical or theological concept.

It appears in terms like philosophy (love of wisdom) and occasionally in discussions of divine wisdom in religious contexts.

The word is far more common as a proper name than as a standalone noun in English. (Capitalized Sophia is the given name.)
