What is the meaning of the name Steffi ?

The baby name Steffi is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced STEF-ee.

Steffi is German, Greek in Origin.

Steffi is a German and northern European diminutive of Stefanie, the feminine form of Stephan or Stephen. Its root is Ancient Greek Στέφανος, Stephanos, a personal name and common noun for a crown, wreath, or garland, especially the prize wreath awarded in games. The feminine Stephanie entered Latin as Stephania; German Stefanie then produced Steffi with the familiar hypocoristic -i ending.

Christian transmission of the Stephen name family rests on Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr in Acts, which helped carry forms such as Étienne, Esteban, Stefan, and Stephanie across Europe. Steffi is most characteristic of German-speaking countries as a nickname and independent given name, with use also noted in Scandinavia and the Netherlands. International recognition rose with German tennis player Steffi Graf in the late twentieth century; in U.S. records it remained rare, peaking modestly around 1989.
