Could you please translate stavroula into English girl name?

Answer 1

Several points to be made here.

Firstly, Stavroula is used in English-speaking countries for girls from Greek families, often shortened to Roula or Vroula, so you don't have to translate it.

Secondly, as far as I can tell there seems to be some disagreement on what the name means, so it can be hard to give a single, accurate translation. Both 'victory' and 'crown' are suggested meanings: you can see how these two are related, since in ancient times those victorious, whether in battle or whatever, wore crowns of laurel leaves to indicate their victory. However, you won't see girls named Victory or Crown in English.

If you want an English name that means 'victory' or 'crown', then consider the following.

Victory - the simplest and most accurate translation is probably Victoria. There are other names like Berenice (victory bringer) or Nicole (people of victory) that have victory as part of the name, however.

Crown - Stephanie is your answer. Or names like Kayla (crown of laurel).Since Stavros (the male version of the name Stavroula) is usually translated as Steve or Stephen, Stephanie would probably be the most widely accepted translation of the name. Stefania in Greek also means "crowned one". However Stavros and Stavroula both will be celebrating their name day on the 14th of September, while Stefanos and Stefania have their name day on the 27th of December. In Greek these names are absolutely not the same. In Greece names are considered to be of similar meaning when representing the same saint (like Panagiotis and Marios, two very different names, but one meaning Madonna and the other meaning Maria, both representing the Virgin Mary and both sharing the same name day - August 15). Stavros is translated as Steve for the lack of there being an equivalent in English, but is not considered to be the same name as Stefanos by Greeks.
