About Stepans
The masculine name Stepans is the Latvian form of Stephen. It is derived from the Greek word "Stéfanos" or "Stéphanos" which means crown, garland, wreath, honor, reward, or any other prize or honor. The word "stéphō" in Greek means to put round or to surround.
In ancient Greece, a crown symbolized rulers and was awarded to contest winners. The word "Stéfanos" first appeared in Homer's Iliad. The name holds significance for Christians, as Saint Stephen, mentioned in the Book of Acts, was the first Christian martyr who was stoned to death.
