"From the Greek name Óôåöáíïò (Stephanos) meaning "crown". Saint Stephen was an early Christian martyr who was stoned to death, as told in Acts in the New Testament. Another Saint Stephen is the patron saint of Hungary, the first Christian king of that country (10th century). This was also the name of kings of England, Serbia, and Poland, as well as ten popes. More recently it is borne by the British physicist Stephen Hawking and the American author Stephen King. "

Stephen is considered one of the top 100 masculine and sexy names of the modern nation possessed by only people who will succeed greatly in life opposed to the name Steven possessed by druggies.

If you pronounce it STEF-en, that means your IQ is extremely low. It's prounced stEVen, guys. And it's okay, you can call him Steveyboy.
Resa: Hi STEF-en.
Stephen: Damn you.
A pet form for the name Theresa or Teresa.
I wouldn't suggest naming anyone this because it sounds similar to Reese Witherspoon and Reese's Pieces.
