Meaning & origin
Stefany is a feminine name of Greek origin meaning 'crown', a variant spelling of the more common Stephanie. The name first appeared on U.S. birth records in 1949, marking its entry into the American naming landscape. It reached its peak popularity in 2002, when it ranked more prominently among baby girls. Since then, its usage has steadily declined, reflecting a broader shift away from traditional feminine forms of male names. The name has been most popular in New Jersey, Texas, and California, suggesting regional preferences for this particular spelling. Despite its falling trajectory, Stefany retains a classic, feminine appeal.
Stefany is a spelling variant of Stephanie, the feminine form of Stephen, derived from the Greek name Stephanos, meaning 'crown' or 'garland'. The name Stephen has been borne by saints and royalty since early Christianity, and its feminine forms became widespread in English-speaking countries in the 20th century.
