Best Answer

The name Stephen means "Crowned One" The origin of the name is Greek.

The name "Stephen" means "victor's crown" in the sense of victor of a contest or battle ... perhaps a laurel leaf crown. (A ruler's crown at that time would have been called a "diadem.")

Later the name Stephen is found in The Bible. Stephen is part of the first cadre of assistants to help the original 12 disciples. Later Stephen was stoned to death...thus becoming the first Christian martyr. Both the Byzantine and Christian faiths observe the day of St. Stephens, in many countries it is celebrated on December 26.
