Stefanie: 291 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 24 births in 1988.
Stefanie is the feminine form of Stephen, which traces back to the Greek *Stephanos*, meaning "crown" or "garland"—a name that signified victory and honour in ancient times. Its widespread popularity across Europe was largely due to the first Christian martyr, Saint Stephen. As a name, it has been carried by many notable women, including tennis champion Stefanie Graf, whose 22 Grand Slam titles truly lived up to the name's victorious meaning. While the Scottish capital has no direct link, the Greek root *stephanos* connects it to the city of Stephani, a small village in Greece. The spelling Stefanie is a common variant of Stephanie, with the 'ph' replaced by an 'f', making it a slightly less common but equally elegant choice for parents seeking a classic name with a touch of individuality.
