Stefano is a masculine name from Del Paeseno which means "garland" [of martyrdom], [surrounded by] "crown", "crowned". Let's find out more about this beautiful name together.
ETYMOLOGY. The origin is Greek ('stephanos' from the Aramaic 'kelila'). The homonymous saints Stephen are over 50, among them Stephen was the first to be stoned for the faith under Tiberius, just nine months after the death of Jesus: therefore his name means crowned martyr. He was also called Kelilan which in the Semitic-Aramaic language means crown, a term then passed to the sporting jargon, where it means 'laurel wreath' with which the winning athletes of the Olympics are girded.
MEANING. It means "garland" [of martyrdom], [girded with] "crown", "crowned". Fantastic gifts, resources and aura: "O DO, HAVE PARTY!"… And the intelligence and character of someone called Stefano or Stefania are truly fantastic!
