Meaning & origin
Estefani first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1983, and its peak year came in 2006, when it was most frequently given. Since then, its usage has fallen steadily, as reflected by its current rank of 4,352 in 2025. The name is approximately 1 in every 50,227 births, indicating moderate rarity. Estefani has a strong regional presence in Texas, the most common state for this spelling. As a variant of Estefanía and Stephanie, it offers a fresher, less common alternative while retaining familiar sounds. The name carries a regal meaning of 'crown' and has been embraced primarily in Hispanic communities in the United States.
Estefani is a Spanish variant of Estefanía, the Spanish form of Stephanie, which derives from the Greek name Stephanos (στέφανος), meaning 'crown' or 'garland.' The name has been common across the Spanish-speaking world, especially in Latin America and the United States, and gained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s. The spelling Estefani, with an 'i' ending, is a modern simplification or adaptation influenced by the English Stephanie.
