Stephania

Meaning of Stephania

Stephania (pronounced steh-FAY-nee-uh) cascades off the tongue like a sunlit melody, marrying ancient Greek grace with vibrant Latin flair. Born from Stephanos—“crown” or “garland”—it carries regal poise, as if draped in laurel leaves at a Roman festival. Though deliciously rare today—ranked 935th in the U.S. in 2024 with just 15 newborns—it still carries the storied spirit of queens, martyrs and muses wandering Iberian plazas. With its elegant “ph” sparkle and lilting –ia finale, Stephania feels both steeped in history and fresh as a breezy Mediterranean morning. For parents seeking a name that’s equally strong and lyrical, Stephania is a crowned treasure ready to shine.
