Pronouonced like Sophia but with an a instead of an o? Maybe it was Safiyyah? That's an Arabic name.

Sophia and Saffiya are pronounced sa-fee-a (the same) aren't they? This was sa-FIGH-a as in rhyming in with 'Higher' I don't know anything about yiddish pronounciation, sorry!

I don't either. I just thought FIGH would rhyme with see. :)
