Stefani

Stefani is a feminine form of the Greek name Stephanos, derived from the Greek word stephanos, meaning crown or wreath, particularly the garland awarded to victors in athletic or civic contests. The name entered widespread use across Europe through the veneration of Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr, whose story is recorded in the Acts of the Apostles. Stefani is closely associated with Italian and Scandinavian naming traditions, functioning as a localized feminine variant. Related forms include Stephanie, Stefania, Stéphanie, and the masculine Stefan and Stephen.
