Best Answer

The feminine personal name Stephanie is English and German in origin. It is derived from a French name, Stéphanie, which in turn comes from the late Latin name Stephania. Stephania is a variant of Stephana, which was widely used among early Christians as a feminine form of Stephanus.

Stephanus was the first Christian martyr. The name Stephanus comes from the Greek word, not a name, stephanos, which means a garland or crown.
