Sofia
Sofia (/ˈsoʊfiə/) (Bulgarian: София, Sofiya,pronounced [ˈsɔfijɐ]) is the capital and largest city of Bulgaria. Sofia is the 15th largest city in the European Union with population of more than 1.2 million people. The city is located at the foot of Vitosha Mountain in the western part of the country, within less than 50 kilometres (31 mi) drive from the Serbian border. Its location in the centre of the Balkan peninsula means that it is the midway between the Black Sea and the Adriatic Sea, whereas the Aegean Sea is the closest to it.
Sofia has been an area of human habitation since at least 7000 BCE. Many of the major universities, cultural institutions and commercial companies of Bulgaria are concentrated in Sofia. Sofia is one of the top 10 best places for start-up business in the world, especially in IT technologies. Sofia is Europe's most affordable capital to visit as of 2013.
Names
For the longest time the city possessed a Thracian name, derived from the tribe Serdi, who were either of Thracian,Celtic, or mixed Thracian-Celtic origin. The Serdi and the name of emperor Marcus Ulpius Traianus (53 – 117 AD) prompted the Romans to give the city the combinative name of Ulpia Serdica; Ulpia is derived from an Umbrian cognate of the Latin word lupus, meaning "wolf." It seems that the first written mention of Serdica was made during his reign and the last mention was in the 19th century in a Bulgarian text (Сардакіи, Sardaki). During the Romans civitas Serdenisium was mentioned the "brightest city of the Serdi" in official inscriptions. The city was major throughout the past ever since Antiquity, when Roman emperor Constantine the Great referred to it as "my Rome", and it nearly became his capital.
Sophia (name)
Sophia is a female name derived from σοφία, the Greek word for "Wisdom". The name was used to represent the personification of wisdom.
Popularity
Sophia has been a popular name throughout the Western world and in parts of the Islamic world. It is the most popular given name for girls in the US for 2012. Sophie was the fifth most popular name for girls in Australia in 2013.

Sofia
by: Son By FourI fell in love with a beautiful Puerto Rican girl and her name was Sofia
I met her in San Juan and I knew she had be the one, mi nina bonita
thought everything was fine when I looked into her Spanish eyes, how was I to know
that she wasn't really mine, in her eyes, there was another guy that gave her amor.
she couldn't see, that my love was all she'll ever need
that in my heart she's the air I breath
I feel her all over my body.
Sofia, she's the love de mi vida
Sofia, and she's driving me crazy
Sofia, she's the love de mi vida
Oh mi nina bonita
Sofia, and I know someday she's coming back to stay
I can see her every night in my mind as I fantasize that she's still with me
but I can't deny everytime the sun rises and I open up my eyes, I feel so lonely
thought everything was fine when I looked into her Spanish eyes, how was I to know
that she wasn't really mine, in her eyes, there was another guy that gave her amor.
she couldn't see, that my love was all she'll ever need
that in my heart she's the air I breath
I feel her all over my body.
Sofia, she's the love de mi vida
Sofia, and she's driving me crazy
Sofia, she's the love de mi vida
Oh mi nina bonita
Sofia, and I know someday she's coming back to stay
