Stephanie

Stephanie is the feminine form of Stephen, which comes from the Greek name Stephanos, meaning 'crown' or 'wreath.' These wreaths were given to victors in ancient games and later, to Christian martyrs. The name spread through early Christianity, honored for its association with triumph and sacrifice. It gained royal connections in Europe, particularly in Germany and Hungary, and traveled westward, embodying grace and strength.
