Saofa'i

Saofa'i is a Pacific Islander name for girls. A fitting name for an energetic little one, Saofa'i might just need a reminder to sit down and relax every now and then. This feminine name comes from the term used for a traditional ceremony when a new matai, or chief, is accepted. Relating to this, Saofa'i means “sit cross-legged.” Saofa’i is also the Samoan form of the Greek name Sophia, meaning “wisdom,” and could make for a beautiful cultural connection to baby's ancestry.
