What Does the Name Estefany Mean?

Estefany is a variant spelling of Stephanie, the feminine form of Stephen. The name comes from the Greek Stephanos (στέφανος), meaning "crown" or "garland." The same Greek word named the wreath awarded to victors in games and the crown worn at celebrations. In Christian usage, it later took on the symbolic sense of the crown of life or the martyr's crown, but that is a later religious interpretation, not the word's literal meaning.

The Spanish feminine form is Estefanía, corresponding to English Stephanie. Estefany is a respelling that follows that Spanish form, with the accented í and final a represented by y. Its meaning is therefore the same as Stephanie's: "crown" or "garland."
