Meaning

The Russian pet form of Sophia, "wisdom".

Traits and personality

Numerology links the initials A, J and S to the number 1 — initiative, self-reliance and an entrepreneurial streak: someone more likely to set the direction than wait for others to. These are traditional readings, not a rule: everyone ends up becoming who they choose to be, whatever name they carry.
