[[file:Stephen or Steven (27179994500).jpg|thumb|alt=two cups|Both common spellings of the name on a [[Starbucks Red Cup]] and clear cup]]

'''Stephen''' or '''Steven''' is an English [[given name|first name]]. It is particularly significant to [[Christianity|Christians]], as it belonged to [[Saint Stephen]] ({{langx|grc|Στέφανος}} {{lang|grc-Latn|Stéphanos}}), an early disciple and [[deacon]] who, according to the [[Book of Acts]], was stoned to death; he is widely regarded as the first [[martyr]] (or "[[protomartyr]]") of the [[Christian Church]].

The name, in both the forms Stephen and Steven, is often shortened to [[Steve]] or [[Stevie (given name)|Stevie]]. In English, the female version of the name is [[Stephanie]].

Many surnames are derived from the first name, including [[Template:Stephen-surname|Stephens, Stevens, Stephenson, and Stevenson]], all of which mean "Stephen's (son)". In modern times the name has sometimes been given with intentionally non-standard spelling, such as '''Stevan''' or '''[[Stevon]]'''. A common variant of the name used in English is [[Stephan (given name)|Stephan]] ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|s|t|ɛ|f|ə|n}} {{respell|STEF|ən}}); related names that have found some currency or significance in English include [[Stefan (given name)|Stefan]] (pronounced {{IPAc-en|ˈ|s|t|ɛ|f|ə|n}} {{respell|STEF|ən}} or {{IPAc-en|s|t|ə|ˈ|f|ɑː|n}} {{respell|stə|FAHN}} in English), [[Esteban]] (often pronounced {{IPAc-en|ˈ|ɛ|s|t|ᵻ|b|æ|n}} {{respell|EST|ib|an}}), and the [[Stephano (The Tempest)|Shakespeare]]an [[Stephano (disambiguation)|Stephano]] ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|s|t|ɛ|f|ən|oʊ}} {{respell|STEF|ən|oh}}).

== Origins ==

The name "Stephen" (and its common variant "Steven")<ref>''Stephen'' was ranked 246th among male names in the United States in 2015, and 357th in England and Wales ([http://www.behindthename.com/name/stephen/top/united-states source]); ''Steven'' was ranked 154th in the United States and 403rd in England and Wales ([http://www.behindthename.com/name/steven/top/united-states source]). ''Stephen'', however, is the form more often used in historical contexts, and almost exclusively the form used for the saint.</ref> is derived from [[Greek language|Greek]] {{lang|grc|Στέφανος}} ({{lang|grc-Latn|Stéphanos}}), a first name from the Greek word {{lang|grc|στέφανος}} ({{lang|grc-Latn|stéphanos}}), meaning 'wreath, crown' and by extension 'reward, honor, renown, fame', from the verb {{lang|grc|στέφειν}} ({{lang|grc-Latn|stéphein}}), 'to encircle, to wreathe'.<ref>{{cite web |title=Online Etymology Dictionary |url=http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=Stephen&searchmode=none |access-date=2012-02-01 |publisher=Etymonline.com}}</ref><ref>[https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0057%3Aentry%3Dste%2Ffanos στέφανος], Henry George Liddell, Robert Scott, ''A Greek–English Lexicon'', on Perseus</ref> In [[Ancient Greece]], crowning wreaths (such as [[laurel wreath]]s) were given to the winners of contests. Originally, as the verb suggests, the noun had a more general meaning of any "circle" – including a circle of people, a circling wall around a city, and, in its earliest recorded use, the circle of a fight, which is found in the [[Iliad]] of [[Homer]].<ref>[https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text.jsp?greek.display=UnicodeC&arabic.display=UnicodeC&language=original&navbar.display=show&doc=Hom.+Il.+13.736&fromdoc=null Homer, Iliad, 13.736], on Perseus</ref>
