History & Origin

Stevin is a respelling of Steven, the common English form of Stephen, from the Greek stephanos, 'crown' or 'garland'. Swapping the second e for an i gives the familiar name a more individualized look, part of the late twentieth-century taste for personalizing standard boys' names.

It was always rare in this spelling, given to only about twenty boys a year around its 1992 peak, while Steven and Stephen stayed the standard forms. A Stevin born then is now an adult, and the spelling reads as a modern variant rather than a distinct name.

Did you know? Stephen was the name of the first Christian martyr, whose Greek stephanos means a victor's crown, and modern spellings like Stevin keep that meaning in a fresher-looking form.
