Ste

Ste is an informal English short form of Stephen or Steven, names ultimately derived from the Greek Stephanos, meaning crown or wreath. The Greek name was borne by Saint Stephen, regarded in Christian tradition as the first martyr, which helped spread the name widely across Europe. Ste is used primarily in parts of northern England as an everyday spoken and written abbreviation. Steven and Stefan are among the broader family of cognates found across various languages.
