Stepheny is of Latin origin and means "crown". It is a feminine variation of the name Stephen, which was originally used as an occupational name for a crown maker. The name gained popularity in the Middle Ages due to its association with Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr. Today, it remains a unique yet classic choice for parents seeking a distinct name for their daughter.
"The name Stepheny peaked between the late 60s and early 70s with over 13 births recorded both in 1969 and 1970. It remained quite popular through the 80s, but has since declined significantly, with only a handful of births per year since 2004."
