Stephanae is an uncommon, classically tinged feminine given name, formed as a Latinized elaboration of Stephana/Stephanie. All trace back to Greek Stephanos, “crown” or “wreath,” carried into Latin as Stephanus and spread across Europe through the cult of Saint Stephen, the early Christian protomartyr. Feminine forms gained currency from the Middle Ages onward, especially in French and German lands.
