STEVANUS Could not find that name as given, but strongly suspect it to be one of the many forms of STEPHEN. It looks, with the -us- ending, to have a Latin connection . There is a Greek form (STEPHANOS) meaning "Crown". The name was popular throughout Christendom in the Middle Ages, having been borne by the first Christian martyr.
