Stephen or Steven is an English male first name. It is particularly significant to Christians, as it belonged to Saint Stephen (), an early disciple and deacon who, according to the Book of Acts, was stoned to death; he is widely regarded as the first martyr (or "protomartyr") of the Christian Church.
