High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Stephen or Steven ( /?sti?v?n/) is a masculine first name, derived from the Greek name ???????? (Stephanos) meaning "crown, garland", in turn from the Greek word "????????", meaning "wreath, crown, honour, reward", literally "that which surrounds or encompasses". In ancient Greece a wreath was given to the winner of a contest (from which the crown, symbol of rulers derived). The use of the noun was first recorded in Homer's Iliad. The name is significant to Christians: according to the Book of Acts in the New Testament, Saint Stephen was a deacon who was stoned to death and is regarded as the first Christian martyr. The name has many variants, which include Stephan, Stevan, Stefan and Stevon.
