Did you know?
- While Stefan is used, the traditional Spanish version of this name is Esteban. The initial 'e' was added over centuries because Spanish speakers historically found it difficult to start words with an 's' followed by a consonant.
- The root of the name Stefan and Esteban comes from the Greek word stéphanos, which means 'crown' or 'wreath'.
- Because of the prevalence of the name in religious art, Esteban is a frequent subject in Spanish Baroque paintings depicting the stoning of the saint.
