What is the meaning of the name Stefanie ?

The baby name Stefanie is a girl name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced STEF-uh-nee.

Stefanie is Dutch, German, Greek in Origin.

Stefanie is a German and Dutch spelling of Stephanie, ultimately from Greek Stephanos, written Στέφανος in classical sources. The Greek noun stephanos denoted a wreath, crown, or garland, especially one placed on the head as a civic, athletic, or ritual honor. As a feminine form, Stefanie adds the Latinate -ia/-ie pattern used in European adaptations of the male name Stephen.

The name spread through Christian naming because of Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr in Acts, whose cult made Stephanus and its vernacular descendants common across medieval Europe. The f spelling is especially familiar in German-speaking countries and the Netherlands, beside French Stéphanie, Italian Stefania, Hungarian Stefánia, and Spanish Estefanía. In English-speaking countries, Stephanie peaked in the late twentieth century; Stefanie has usually been a less common continental spelling.
