📖 About Stéphanie
Stéphanie is the French and Spanish feminine form of Stephanie, from Greek Stephanos meaning "crown" or "wreath" — a name historically linked to glory and royalty. It spread across medieval Europe through Latin Stephania and evolved into many national variants. In France it was the #1 girl's name from 1974 to 1977, with over 23,500 births at its peak, and remained a top-10 name into the mid-1980s. Its glamour was amplified by Princess Stéphanie of Monaco, and today it evokes the confident spirit of an entire late-20th-century French generation.
