Thinking about the name
Stevan
Greek origin
“A variant spelling of Stephen popular in Eastern European and Slavic regions, derived from the Greek stephanos meaning 'crown.' Stevan feels both classical and internationally sophisticated, appealing to parents with Eastern European heritage or those drawn to less common spellings of familiar names. The name carries noble dignity.”
