Stephen or Steven is a common English first name. It is particularly significant to Christians, as it belonged to Saint Stephen (Greek: Στέφανος Stéphanos), an early disciple and deacon who, according to the Book of Acts, was stoned to death; he is widely regarded as the first martyr (or «protomartyr») of the Christian Church.

In English, Stephen is most commonly pronounced as STEE-vən. The name, in both the forms Stephen and Steven, is often shortened to Steve or Stevie. In English, the female version of the name is Stephanie.

Many surnames are derived from the first name, including Stephens, Stevens, Stephenson, and Stevenson, all of which mean «Stephen’s (son)». In modern times the name has sometimes been given with intentionally non-standard spelling, such as Stevan or Stevon. A common variant of the name used in English is Stephan ( STEF-ən); related names that have found some currency or significance in English include Stefan (pronounced STEF-ən or stə-FAHN in English), Esteban (often pronounced EST-ib-an), and the Shakespearean Stephano ( STEF-ən-oh).

Origins[edit]

The name «Stephen» (and its common variant «Steven»)^[1] is derived from Greek Στέφανος (Stéphanos), a first name from the Greek word στέφανος (stéphanos), meaning ‘wreath, crown’ and by extension ‘reward, honor, renown, fame’, from the verb στέφειν (stéphein), ‘to encircle, to wreathe’.^[2]^[3] In Ancient Greece, crowning wreaths (such as laurel wreaths) were given to the winners of contests. Originally, as the verb suggests, the noun had a more general meaning of any «circle»—including a circle of people, a circling wall around a city, and, in its earliest recorded use, the circle of a fight, which is found in the Iliad of Homer.^[4]

From the Greek name Στέφανος (Stephanos) meaning «crown, wreath», more precisely «that which surrounds». Saint Stephen was a deacon who was stoned to death, as told in Acts in the New Testament. He is regarded as the first Christian martyr. Due to him, the name became common in the Christian world. It was popularized in England by the Normans.

This was the name of kings of England, Serbia, and Poland, as well as ten popes. It was also borne by the first Christian king of Hungary (11th century), who is regarded as the patron saint of that country. More recent bearers include British physicist Stephen Hawking (1942-2018) and the American author Stephen King (1947-).
