History & Origin

Staphanie is an off-standard spelling of Stephanie, the feminine of Stephen from the Greek for 'crown' or 'garland.' The swapped vowel leaves the pronunciation untouched. Families using it kept Stephanie's classic sound while the written form drifted from the norm.

Staphanie stayed very rare, given to only about twenty girls a year at its high point around 1990, a faint variant of the hugely popular Stephanie. A woman named Staphanie then is in her thirties today.

Did you know? Staphanie keeps the exact sound of Stephanie, whose Greek root Stephanos, a 'crown' or 'garland,' also gives us the word for a garland of honor.
