History & Origin

Stephannie is a variant spelling of Stephanie, the feminine form of Stephen, from Greek stephanos meaning a 'crown' or 'garland' awarded to victors. The extra -n is purely an American spelling choice and does not change the meaning.

This respelling tracked the boom of Stephanie in the nineteen-seventies, crested around 1972, and receded as the parent name itself cooled. It reads as a Generation-X variant and has not returned separately, though Stephanie endures.

Did you know? Stephannie peaked around 1972, exactly when Stephanie itself was climbing toward the top of the American girls' charts.
