Astevan Origin and Meaning

The name Astevan is a boy's name of Spanish origin.

Astevan is a masculine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Esteban, the Spanish form of Stephen. The name ultimately derives from the Greek 'Stephanos,' meaning 'crown' or 'garland,' symbolizing honor and victory. This uncommon variation might have emerged in southwestern United States or Latin American communities where alternative spellings of traditional names are sometimes embraced. Astevan blends the traditional Spanish form with a unique initial 'A,' possibly influenced by Native American or regional dialectical pronunciations. While extremely rare in official records, Astevan offers an distinctive alternative to the more common Stephen, Steven, or Esteban. The name carries the same rich historical connections to Saint Stephen, Christianity's first martyr.
