Origin and meaning of Stefano
Stefano comes from the Greek Stéphanos, 'crown, crowned': it evoked the victors' garland and, for Christians, the crown of martyrdom. It is the name of Saint Stephen, the first martyr, celebrated on 26 December. Widespread across Europe, it is a warm, traditional boys' classic in Italy; Stephen, Esteban, Étienne and Stefan make it common throughout the West.
