History & Origin

Stephaun is a modern form of Stephon, itself a variant of Stephen, from the Greek stephanos, 'crown.' The reworked ending places it in the 1990s taste for fresh spellings of familiar names, especially in African American naming. The meaning stays fixed on that classic crown image inherited from Stephen.

Stephaun stayed rare, given to only about fourteen boys a year around its 1994 peak, while Stephen and Steven remained common. A boy named Stephaun then is in his early thirties today, part of a cohort that gave the old Stephen sound a distinctly modern spelling.

Did you know? Every spelling of Stephaun leads back to the Greek stephanos, 'crown' or 'garland,' the same root behind Stephen, Steven, and Estefan.
