Summary
- The name Stephanie is not found in the Bible but is derived from Stephen, a name featured in the New Testament; it gained popularity through devotion to St. Stephen.
- Stephanie originates from the Greek name Stephanos, meaning “crown” or “wreath,” and is associated with honor and triumph, as well as spiritual qualities like courage and perseverance.
- Although not a biblical name, Stephanie has Christian significance due to its association with Stephen and the theme of crowns in Scripture, symbolizing victory and eternal life.
- While biblical names are often chosen for their spiritual significance, non-biblical names like Stephanie can also carry Christian meaning and inspire individuals to embody faith and virtues.
