Stevan

Boy name · 9 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Stevan: 9 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 1975.

A Slavic form of Stephen, Stevan derives from the Greek *stephanos*, meaning "crown" or "garland," a name carried by the first Christian martyr and countless saints. Notable bearers include Montenegrin footballer Stevan Jovetić and Serbian composer Stevan Mokranjac, a key figure in Balkan classical music. While no major places share the exact spelling, the root appears in cities like St. Stephen's Green in Dublin. This variant is most common in Serbian, Croatian, and other South Slavic communities, offering a distinct alternative to the more familiar Steven or Stephen. In Scotland, it remains a rare but recognisable choice, reflecting the country’s long tradition of welcoming diverse cultural influences into its naming landscape.
