STEPHANIE

A VERY unusual name is Stephanie
"A OF late it has had great vogue
and represents revival Of Interest n
the old Greek names which had far
more significance than our modern
versions. Stephanie, for instance or
iginated with the Greek games when
the wreath of the conqueror was an
appropriate allusion to those games
where the Greek youth delighted TO
contend. The wreath was called a
stephanos, and it is more than likely
that the first proper name Stephanos
was so called by proud family
whose representative had returned
with leafy crown on his brow.
Stephan, the contraction, was an old
Greek name borne by the son of
Thucydides, before it was given to the
Hellenist deacon who achieved the
greatest of all victories and won the
spiritual crown Old Greek hymn
writer's celebrated this accordance Of
name and destiny:
Thou by name a crown impliest
Meekly then in pangs thou dest
For the crown of righteousness.
Stephanie is the feminine form APP
proved in Greece; 1t also signifies a
crown. 1t received sacred promi-
nence since no less than seven saints
bore the masculine form of it, includ-
ing the great Saint Stephen the mar
tyr. The English gained its use, it is
said, through William the Conqueror,
who dedicated to Saint Stephen the
abbey built at Caen to expiate the
marriage with the already betrothed
Matilda.
The English have placed the stamp
OF their own spelling upon it, and
while using Stephanie to large ex-
tent, also favor Stephana. The French
call her Estephanie, Stefanie, Etien-
nette, and Tiennette. Estephania is
the Portuguese form and Stephanine
the German. Russia changes her to
Stephanlda and Stepanda
Stephanie's jewel is the sapphire
which will protect her from all harm,
and is said to attract divine favor to
It's wearer. Her lucky day is Wednes-
day and 8 is her lucky number.
