Stephanie by the numbers
In 2025, 51 babies in England and Wales were named Stephanie. In the US, 1,126 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given several times more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 24,861 babies in 1990, so it is a 1990s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1985, about 1 in 79 American girls born that year was called Stephanie.
