Estefan is of Spanish origin, derived from the Latin 'Stephanus', which means 'crown' or 'garland'. It's a variant spelling of Stephen and has been popular in Hispanic cultures for centuries. The name gained international recognition with the success of Miami Sound Machine frontwoman Gloria Estefan in the late 1980s, further popularizing this charming name.
"The name Estefan peaked in popularity between 1990 and 1997 with over 15 births per year each year except for 1998 when it dropped to 14. Since then, the number of births has fluctuated but remained relatively stable, ranging from 5 to 11 births per year."
