Stafan is an uncommon given name of Scandinavian origin, derived from the ancient Germanic elements 'staþ' meaning 'stave,' 'rod,' or 'staff,' and 'mann' meaning 'man.' It was used by Norse warriors who believed it would bring victory in battle. The name was popularized during the Viking Age, with some notable historical figures bearing this name, such as Stefan of Poland, a 12th-century prince. Today, Stafan remains relatively rare, contributing to its unique and distinctive character.
"Stafan is quite rare, with only five babies named so between 1995 and now."
