Meaning
The name Steven comes from the Greek name Στέφανος (Stephanos), meaning 'crown' or 'garland'. It was popularized in the Christian tradition as the name of Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr who was stoned to death, and also as one of the seven deacons chosen by the apostles to serve the needy.
