Stephanas Origin and Meaning
The name Stephanas is a boy's name.
Stephanas is a masculine name of Greek origin, appearing in the New Testament as one of the first converts to Christianity in Corinth. The name derives from the Greek word 'stephanos,' meaning 'crown' or 'wreath,' traditionally awarded to victors in ancient games. In the Bible, Stephanas and his household were baptized by Paul and dedicated themselves to serving other believers. While uncommon in modern usage, the name carries rich historical and religious significance. For those drawn to biblical names with deep meaning, Stephanas offers a distinctive alternative to the more common Stephen or Stefan. Its connection to early Christian history makes it particularly meaningful for families with strong religious traditions.
