Steffi

Steffi is a German feminine given name functioning as a diminutive of Stefanie, itself the German form of Stephanie, which derives through Latin and Greek from the Greek word stephanos, meaning crown or wreath. The name gained particular international recognition through German tennis champion Steffi Graf, whose dominance in the sport during the 1980s and 1990s brought the diminutive form wide familiarity beyond German-speaking countries. Related forms include Stephanie, Stefania, and Stéphanie.
