History & Origin

Stepheny is a respelling of Stephanie, the feminine of Stephen, from Greek 'stephanos' (crown, garland). Stephanie soared in the later twentieth century, and its wave carried a scatter of personal spellings - Stepheny among them - as parents sought a familiar name with an individual look. It stayed far rarer than the standard form.

Stepheny was never common as a spelling in the United States, reaching only about twenty girls a year around its peak in 1989 while Stephanie topped the charts. A woman named Stepheny then is in her thirties today.

Did you know? The Greek stephanos behind Stepheny meant the victor's wreath crowning a champion's head - the same word that gives us the crown-shaped flower called the stephanotis.
