Estephany

Meaning of Estephany

Estephany emerges as a precise orthographic variant of Stephanie—the feminine form of the Greek Stephanos, literally “crown” or “garland”—and is employed within Anglo-American naming conventions while resonating across Hispanic and broader linguistic contexts. Its phonetic rendering, es-TEF-uh-nee (/ɛsˈtɛfəni/), retains the classical stress pattern even as the spelling reflects a deliberate adaptation. An analysis of California birth data from 1990 through 2011 demonstrates a consistently modest yet stable presence: annual occurrences ranging from five to seventeen births and rankings confined to the 350–390 band. These metrics attest to Estephany’s enduring appeal among parents seeking a name that balances technical precision, historical depth and a measured degree of individuality.
