Etienne is not a word in french, but it can be a boys name. Perhaps you mean Eteindre, which means to switch-off or extinguish. Or Etendre, which means to spread out, spread thin or dillute.

Etienne is a boy's name, Esteban is Spanish, Steve in English.

Etienne is a French form of Stephen, the noun from Greek Stephanos' crown of foliage or metal. Deformation Stephane Stephan is late (fourteenth-fifteenth centuries) and was preceded by Estefan, Estèphe, Esteve, etc.. But the use made of Stephen translation in french language of most foreign versions or old (before the thirteenth century) Stéphane.

Stephen is, in France, a name common and stable for four centuries, his periods of recession never last very long. St. Stephen is the first martyr of the Christian religion.This young Greek Jew, a native of Alexandria, lived in Jerusalem at the time of Christ.Converted to the new religion, he was appointed by the apostles shortly after Pentecost to be the deacon in charge of the poor. His popularity, combined with its great beauty, displeased with the Temple priests. They had him arrested and condemned to death. Stephen died stoned near the Damascus Gate, north of Jerusalem. From the fifth century, the cult of the saint became very popular throughout Christendom. We fixed the date of the commemoration day after the celebration of the Child Jesus.
