1. Stephen (proper name) — The proper name Stephen (Στέφανος), referring to the first Christian martyr, one of the seven deacons chosen in Acts 6, who was stoned to death (Acts 7:59-60). All case forms (nominative, accusative, dative, genitive) refer to the same individual. Multilingual evidence is uniformly a transliteration of the same personal name: Arabic اسْتِفَانُوس (Istifānūs), Korean 스데반 (Seudeban), Swahili Stefano, Hindi स्तिफनुस/स्तिफ़नुस (Stifanus), Spanish Stéphanos/Stéfanos. The genitive 'of Stephen' is possessive inflection, not a separate lexicographic sense. 7×
