Meaning & Story

Stephanie is a Greek name derived from Stephanos meaning crown or wreath. It has been a beloved given name across Europe and America since the mid-twentieth century.

Stephanie on a pet feels like a warm, slightly unexpected choice — the kind of name that says the owner sees their pet as a full personality rather than just an animal. There is a friendly, approachable quality to Stephanie, a mid-century warmth that never fully goes out of fashion. For a sociable, affectionate female dog or cat with that particular quality of making everyone feel immediately comfortable, Stephanie is a genuinely charming fit.
