Origin: Romanian

Meaning: Of Ștefan; Crown, garland; Joyous, happy

A shortened form of the Romanian Ștefan, Fane adopts the meanings “garland” and “crown” from the Greek Stephanos and nestles upon baby like a lofty wreath. A strapping name for boys, Fane has that same badass vibe as Batman’s Bane but carries an opposite, more cheerful definition. As a British and Welsh surname from the Old English era, Fane means “joyous” and “happy.” When you see baby proudly wearing their smile like a shining crown, you’ll know you chose right with Fane.
