Estebe Origin and Meaning

The name Estebe is a boy's name of Basque origin.

Estebe is a masculine name that originates as the Basque variation of Stephen, derived from the Greek 'Stephanos' meaning 'crown' or 'garland.' Predominantly found in the Basque Country regions of Spain and France, this cultural variation preserves the name's heritage while giving it a distinctive regional character. Estebe follows Basque phonological patterns, which differ from both Spanish (Esteban) and French (Étienne) versions of the same name. While common within Basque communities, Estebe remains rare internationally and would be considered an exotic choice outside its cultural homeland. The name carries the same dignified history as other Stephen variants, including its connection to the first Christian martyr.
