Meaning & origin
Stephanine is a very rare feminine form of the classic name Stephen. It was first recorded in the United States in 1966 and has never appeared in the top 1000 names. Its peak year was 1988, but even then usage was minimal. The name has remained stable in its rarity, never gaining widespread popularity. It is a variant of the more common Stephanie, sharing the meaning 'crown' from Greek Stephanos. The name was not strongly associated with any particular state in recent data.
Stephanine is a rare feminine variant of Stephen, which derives from the Greek name Stephanos (Στέφανος), meaning 'crown' or 'garland.'
