What is the meaning of the name Stéphanie ?

The baby name Stéphanie is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced French: /ste.fa.ni/ (STEH-fa-nee); English: /ˈstɛfəni/ (STEP-uh-nee).

Stéphanie is French, Greek in Origin.

Stéphanie is the French feminine form of the Greek-rooted name stemming from Stephanos, “crown, garland,” the wreath bestowed on victors. Via Latin Stephanus, it entered French alongside the masculine Étienne and Stéphane; the older feminine in French was Étiennette, while Stéphanie became the standard learned form. The acute accent reflects French phonology, yielding stay-FAH-nee. By meaning, the name carries associations of honor, triumph, and celebration.

Its spread across Europe followed the cult of Saint Stephen, with distinct feminine forms stabilizing in the early modern period and flourishing in France from the 19th century, peaking in the 1970s–80s. International variants include Stephanie (English), Stefanie (German, Dutch), Estefanía (Spanish), Stefania/Ștefania (Italian, Polish, Romanian), and Stefani. Common diminutives are Steph, Steff, Steffi, and in French, Stéph. Related French forms: masculine Stéphane and Étienne; archaic feminine Étiennette.
