Crown or garland
Stefania is the feminine form of Stephen, derived from the Greek name Stephanos. It signifies honor and victory, traditionally represented by the wearing of a laurel wreath or crown. While popular in Europe, particularly in Italy, Poland, and Greece, it remains a rare and elegant alternative to Stephanie in the United States.
