History & Origin

Stefanee is a creative respelling of Stephanie, which descends from Greek Stephanos, 'crown' or 'garland,' the masculine form being Stephen. The f and the -ee ending mark it as one of the many individualized versions that appeared while Stephanie was at the height of its American popularity.

The spelling was always uncommon, given to only about a dozen and a half girls a year at its peak around 1990, riding the tail of Stephanie's fashion. A girl named Stefanee then is in her thirties today.

Did you know? Stephanie was hugely popular in the nineteen-eighties, and spellings like Stefanee let parents keep the beloved sound while giving each daughter a distinctive written name.
