Meaning and history

Estêvão is the Portuguese form of Stephen. The name derives from Greek Stephanos, meaning “crown” or “wreath,” especially the wreath awarded to a victor. Its Christian importance comes from Saint Stephen, described in Acts as the first Christian martyr. The Portuguese spelling preserves the circumflex and nasal vowel and should not be reduced to Estevao in careful text. Notable bearers include Brazilian footballer Estêvão Willian and medieval Portuguese nobleman Estêvão da Gama.
