Meaning of 'Sophia'[]

In Episode 506, Narcisse said Sophia meant "healing" in ancient Greek. Actually, Iasis means 'to heal'. Sophia actually means 'wisdom', such as Hagia Sophia (the 'Church of Holy Wisdom' in Istanbul) or the word 'philosophy' which means 'love of wisdom'. Either this was a writer's error or Dr Narcisse didn't think a little girl would gainsay him. --Fenrir51 (talk) 21:42, October 20, 2014 (UTC)
