Steaffan

Though it's spelled differently from Stefan, Steafan, and other variants, Steaffan's similarity to Stephen is very evident. A masculine title, Steaffan is said to arise from Romansh, one of the four national languages of Switzerland. Ultimately, it derives from the Greek title Stephanos, meaning "crown," "wreath," or more specifically, "that which surrounds." From fences that protect property to rings shaped in a continuous circle, the world is full of objects that fit Steaffan's latter definition. Perhaps your little one will become a "surrounder" by nature, a person who is always finding ways to connect with others and make them feel supported. Or maybe they'll love that their name means "crown," their favorite royal dress-up item!
