Stephenie Origin and Meaning

The name Stephenie is a girl's name.

Stephenie is a feminine variant spelling of Stephanie, which derives from the Greek name Stephanos, meaning 'crown' or 'garland.' This particular spelling variation gained significant attention in the early 2000s due to author Stephenie Meyer, creator of the wildly popular Twilight series. Before Meyer's fame, this spelling was considerably less common than the standard Stephanie, which had been a top choice for girls particularly in the 1970s and 1980s. The name maintains the same melodic quality and meaning as its more traditional counterpart, but with a slightly distinctive appearance. Like other feminine forms of Stephen, the name carries connotations of honor and achievement, referencing the laurel wreaths that were bestowed upon victors in ancient Greece.
