Ophilia, of Greek origin, is an uncommon yet distinctive name that translates to 'of the serpent'. It was often used among early Christians as a name for St. Mary Magdalene in some ancient manuscripts. The name Ophilia has also been associated with the French writer George Sand's novel 'La Mare au Diable', where it is carried by one of the main characters. This rare and unique name offers an intriguing choice for parents looking to give their child a memorable moniker with a rich historical background.
"Ophilia saw a slight decline in popularity from 1915 to 1918, with eight babies named Ophilia born in 1915 and seven in 1918, making a total of fifteen Ophilias over those three years."
