How do you pronounce Sophronia?

I’ve seen this name a couple of times and I’m just wondering which is the correct way to pronounce it.

I’ve never seen the name before but instinctively I would say: Soff-ron-ya.
But it could also be Soh-fron-ya.

I actually have no idea how it’s pronounced, but I say Soff-[name]RO[/name]-nia.

It’s Greek so it’s correctly pronounced in Greek as so-FROH-nee-uh

Okay. Thanks. I was just wondering. :]

This.

[name]Sophronia[/name] appeals to me because of its funky-clunky, antique feel. If you want to take [name]Sophia[/name] one step further, this is the way to do it.
