女性英文名字2 - Sonja

接續剛剛那篇兩個女性英文名字1 - Alison。

現在要解釋的是 Sonja。

SONJA
Usage: German, Scandinavian, Finnish, Slovene
German, Scandinavian, Finnish and Slovene form of SONYA

Sonja 的發音與下面的 Sonya 是一樣的，這點我是在奇摩知識查到的。原來他也是Slovene form，真是蠻浪漫的。


SONYA
Usage: Russian
Other Scripts: Соня (Russian)
Pronounced: SON-ya, SAWN-ya [key]
Russian pet form of SOPHIA

跟著查 Sonya 解釋發現原來 Sonya 是 Sophia 的 Russian form。

SOPHIA
Usage: English, Greek, German, Italian, Ancient Greek
Other Scripts: Σοφια (Ancient Greek)
Pronounced: so-FEE-a [key]
Means "wisdom" in Greek. This was the name of an early, probably mythical, saint who died of grief after her three daughters were martyred.

Sophia 在太空戰士時就知道其代表著 智慧。
所以 Sonja 也就是代表著智慧的意思。

女性英文名字1 - Alison

現在在HITCON上，因為不知道要做什麼就把Todo裡面要做的事情做一做。
我對兩個英文名字特別有興趣：Sonja & Alison。
沒有什麼特別的涵意，只是看到這兩個英文名字就會比較有特殊的感覺。

我就在名字後面這個網站找了這兩個名字的由來。

ALISON
Usage: English, French
Pronounced: AL-i-sun (English), a-lee-SAWN (French) [key]
Medieval Norman form of ALICE. It is occasionally used as a masculine name.

Alison這個名字是Alice在Medeival Norman的form，接著我就查了Alice

ALICE
Usage: English, French
Pronounced: AL-is (English), a-LEES (French) [key]
Short form of the Old French Adelais, itself a short form of Adalheidis (see ADELAIDE). This is the name of the heroine of Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass'.

同樣我跟著查了 Adelaide

ADELAIDE
Usage: English
Pronounced: AD-e-layd [key]
From the Germanic name Adalheidis which was composed of the elements adal "noble" and heid "kind, sort, type". This was the name of the wife of Otto the Great, and also the wife of King William IV of Britain. A city in Australia bears this name.

到此找到了原來Alison/Alice的意思，Adelaide在某些劇情(音樂)常有耳聞，Alison就是他的變體。如果沒有查還真的不知道Alice這個看似平凡的名字其背後原來的意義。

Alison!有高貴的意思。
