St Sophia's Cathedral, London → Saint Sophia Cathedral, London – The full formal name of the cathedral is The Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Divine Wisdom (Hagia Sophia) (https://www.stsophia.org.uk). The cathedral is not dedicated to a saint called Sophia in the way that (for instance) St Paul's cathedral is dedicated to St Paul. "Saint Sophia" is from Sancta Sophia, which is a Latinisation of the Koine Greek Hagia Sophia. It means Holy (or Divine) Wisdom. The 's (apostrophe-s) is unnecessary and misleading. Please also see the List of churches dedicated to Holy Wisdom for analogous examples and (at the bottom) a list of churches that really are dedicated to a saint called Sophia.

Support – not a saint, no need for that abbrev. or possessive, per nom. Dicklyon (talk) 21:44, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support, as Frans Fowler makes a good point.--Astral Leap (talk) 10:03, 28 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
