History & Origin
Estefana is the Spanish feminine counterpart of Esteban, the Spanish form of Stephen, from Greek stephanos, 'crown' or 'garland'. It came into American records chiefly through Spanish-speaking and Mexican-American families, an heirloom form beside the longer Estefania.
Never widespread in the United States, it moved at a few dozen girls a year and touched a faint high point around 1920, with scattered use continuing much later within Latino communities. It reads as a traditional heritage name and is more often seen today in its fuller form, Estefania.
