Estefania

Estefania is the unaccented spelling of Spanish Estefanía, the feminine form related to Esteban and to the wider Stephen family. Its ultimate Greek source, stephanos, means a crown or wreath. In the ancient world a wreath could mark victory or honor, giving the name a concrete object at the center of its history.

Stephanie is its familiar English relative, while Estefanía preserves the Spanish form and stress mark. Families using keyboards or records without accents may write Estefania instead. The name therefore offers a direct connection between Spanish-speaking and English-speaking branches of the same naming tradition, with its meaning remaining consistent even as the spelling and pronunciation change.
