Stevie

Stevie is an English diminutive of Stephen (or Steven), which derives from the Greek name Stephanos, meaning crown or wreath, itself related to the verb stephein, to encircle or wreathe. Originally used as a pet form for males, it gained widespread use as an independent given name for both boys and girls through the twentieth century. Notable bearers include American musician Stevie Wonder, born Steveland Morris, and singer-songwriter Stevie Nicks, both of whom helped cement the name's popular appeal. Related forms include Steve, Stephen, Steven, and the feminine Stephanie.
