Stephene

Stephene is a rare variation of the more common name Stephen/Steven (masculine) or Stephanie (feminine), ultimately derived from the Greek 'Stephanos' meaning 'crown' or 'garland.' This particular spelling is quite uncommon and may be used for either gender, though traditionally would align more with masculine usage patterns. The name carries the same noble meaning as its more common variants, suggesting honor and achievement. The unusual spelling might be chosen to create a distinctive visual appearance while maintaining the familiar pronunciation. Despite its classical Greek origins, this specific variant has never achieved widespread popularity. People named Stephene likely appreciate having an uncommon variation of a well-known and historically significant name.

Pronounced STEF-een.

As of October 2026, Stephene ranked #18064 in US births in 2003 SSA, peaked at #4134 in 1973.
