Estiban Origin and Meaning

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

Estiban is a masculine name that appears to be a variation of Esteban, the Spanish form of Stephen, derived from the Greek 'Stephanos' meaning 'crown' or 'garland.' This alternative spelling may have emerged in Latin American communities or could reflect regional pronunciation differences. The name carries the rich historical significance of its root name, which honors St. Stephen, the first Christian martyr. While Esteban is fairly common in Spanish-speaking countries, the Estiban variant remains quite rare. The name has a melodic quality with its balanced syllables and soft consonants. For English speakers, it offers an uncommon alternative to Stephen or Steven while maintaining familiar sounds. The name may appeal to parents seeking a name with Hispanic cultural connections but with a slightly distinctive spelling that sets it apart from more common variations.
