History & Origin

Stephene is an uncommon feminine form of Stephen (Greek Stephanos, 'crown, garland'), close in spirit to Stephanie but pared shorter. Because the spelling is irregular, the intended pronunciation is uncertain, which we note.

It was always a rarity, given to only about fifteen girls a year around the early nineteen-seventies. A Stephene from that time would be reaching later middle age today.

Did you know? The Greek root Stephanos means 'crown' - the same wreath sense behind the far more common Stephanie, of which Stephene reads as a slimmer variant.
