Stephene is a unisex given name of Greek origin, derived from the Greek word 'stephanos,' which means 'crown.' It is often considered a variation of Stephen, but it has gained popularity as a standalone name in recent years. Stephene has been used historically as both a male and female name, although it is more commonly associated with males in modern times.
Stephene experienced fluctuating popularity throughout the years, with a noticeable spike from 1967 to 1977 when it was among the top names each year, reaching a peak of 15 births in both 1973 and 1977. However, its usage significantly declined thereafter, with fewer than 10 births per year after 1984, except for brief periods around the late 1980s to early 1990s and once more in 2003. Overall, Stephene has been relatively uncommon since the mid-1980s, with a total of 281 births recorded over these years.
