Girl name · 5 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Steffany: 5 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 5 births in 1991.

A feminine variant of Stephanie, Steffany ultimately derives from the Greek *stephanos* meaning “crown” or “garland,” linking it to the same root as Stephen and Steven. Among notable bearers is Steffany Gretzinger, an American contemporary Christian singer and songwriter known for her work with Bethel Music. While no major places are directly named after a Steffany, the name shares its etymological heritage with scores of towns and cathedrals bearing the name Stephen. This particular spelling emerged as a modern, often Americanised twist on the classic Stephanie, offering a familiar yet distinctive alternative that feels both sweet and stylish—perfect for parents seeking a name with timeless roots and a slightly uncommon flourish.
