Stevi

Stevi is a feminine name that functions as a modern, casual variant of Stephanie, which derives from the Greek name Stephanos meaning "crown" or "garland." This shortened form emerged in the late 20th century as part of the trend toward creating informal, nickname-style given names. Stevi offers a playful, contemporary alternative to more traditional feminine names while maintaining a connection to its classical roots. The spelling with an 'i' ending gives it a distinctive touch compared to the variant Stevie, which is often used for both genders and associated with musicians like Stevie Nicks and Stevie Wonder. While relatively uncommon as a formal given name, Stevi has an energetic, youthful quality that appeals to parents seeking a name that feels approachable yet unique.

Pronounced STEH-vee.

As of October 2026, Stevi ranked #5539 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1424 in 1988.
