Stefanie

Stefanie is a German and Dutch feminine form of Stefan, which derives from the Latin Stephanus and ultimately from the ancient Greek name Stephanos, meaning crown or wreath. The name spread throughout Europe largely through the veneration of Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr. Stefanie is the standard German-language spelling, while cognates in other languages include Stephanie in French and English, Stéphanie in French, and Stefania in Italian and Polish.
