Stephanie
Posted by Graham <dude@dudesrus.com> on Sun, 26 Mar 2006, in response to what i tought it meant..., posted by stepahnie on Wed, 06 Jul 2005
Stephanie is a beautiful name. It is derived from the greek Persephone or Proserpina, an ancient Greek goddess whose story is the basis of a myth of Springtime. She is the Roman equivalent of Persephone. She was subsumed by the cult of Libera, an ancient fertility goddess, wife of Liber. Known as Queen of the Underworld. Her name comes from proserpere meaning to emerge. She is a life-death-rebirth deity.The modern day translation of the woman's name Stephanie literally means 'crown', 'tiara', or 'royalty'. Princess is appropriate. Or you may borrow my personal favourite; My Beautiful Stephanie.
