The story of Stevie
Stephanos named the wreath given to a winner rather than a royal crown, and Acts has Stephen stoned to death as the first Christian martyr — a martyr named Crown. Stevie is the affectionate form, used for both sexes, and appears in American records in current use.
Meaning
crown, garland
Through Stephen, from the Greek stephanos, 'crown' or 'wreath', specifically the victor's garland. Stephen was the first Christian martyr, and early writers noticed the coincidence. Stevie is the English affectionate form. The Greek is documented.

Line the two peaks up, and Hoover's path sketches the road Stevie is walking now.
