What is the meaning of the name Estephan ?

The baby name Estephan is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈɛs.tə.fæn/ (ES-tuh-fan) — pronunciation may vary by language/region.

Estephan is Greek in Origin.

Estephan is a Levantine and Francophone-influenced rendering of Greek Stephanos, meaning "crown, wreath," a classical emblem of honor and victory. The form entered Arabic via Syriac and ecclesiastical Greek, hence its prevalence among Arabic-speaking Christian families, where it appears as both a given name and surname. In English and European contexts it sits alongside the Stephen/Steven family.

Usage owes much to the cult of Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr of the 1st century, which propelled the name across Christendom; notables range from King Stephen of England to Stephen (István) of Hungary and, regionally, the Maronite monk Blessed Estephan Nehme (1889–1938). Close variants include Stephen, Steven, Stephan, Stefan, Stéphane, Étienne, Esteban, Estefan, Estêvão, Stefano, Stepan, and István; feminine counterparts are Stephanie, Stefania, and Estefanía. Estephan conveys laureled achievement with a warm Levantine flavor.
