Sofia means wisdom.

Goddess Athena is the possessor of wisdom.

All the gods depend on her knowledge

All the gods seek her advice.

Athena
Goddess of Wisdom
I advise you to think before you act,
to look for the true meaning of things,
and to constantly acquire knowledge.

It is not a coincidence that her name is Sofia.

Earth was a beautiful woman.
She sat alone, looking at the Sky
blue during the day, black at night
filled with shining stars.
One night Sky beckoned to her.
That is, he set his stars twinkling.
Look at that, thought Earth.
He’s winking at me. I’ll talk to him.
And that was how they met.
