Meaning & Origin of Fia
Meaning: Pet form of Sofia.
Origin: Swedish.
A common claim: Some sites list it as Irish/Italian meaning 'wild, weaving.' Actually: Wiktionary documents Fia mainly as a Scandinavian pet form of Sofia, not as an Irish or Italian word meaning "wild" or "weaving." A similar-looking Irish word does mean "deer" or "wild," but that's a different name.
