History & Origin

Stephanee is one of several creative spellings that rode the enormous popularity of Stephanie. Both point to the Greek stephanos, 'crown' or 'garland,' by way of the martyr Saint Stephen. The -ee ending gives the classic name a more casual, phonetic look.

This spelling was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year around its late-eighties high, shadowing the boom of the standard Stephanie. A girl named Stephanee then is in her thirties today.

Did you know? Through Stephanie, Stephanee carries the Greek stephanos, 'crown' — the same root behind the word 'stephanotis,' a crown-like flower.
