How do you pronounce Stephan?šŸƒ

Okay, so Iā€™ve been loving Stephan forever, and just recently I realised that I think everyone pronounces it differently to me!
I say ā€˜Ste-fahnā€™, not ā€˜Stef-enā€™.
Curious to hear what you guys say.
Am I pronouncing it wrong or not?
X :leaves:

Stef-an or Steve-an is how I would say it.

It sounds like STEFF-en when I say it. [name_m]Stefan[/name_m] would be steff-AWN (which I think it closer to how you say it?)

I say stef-un, like the beginning of [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f], but Iā€™ve heard your pn being used too and it wouldnā€™t surprise me

[name_m]Stephan[/name_m] : I would say [name_u]Stef[/name_u] - ahn (although also understand [name_u]Stef[/name_u] - un)

[name_m]Stephen[/name_m] : I would say [name_u]Stef[/name_u] - enne (or have also heard Stee - ven)

[name_m]Steven[/name_m] : Stee - ven (the only pronounciation that feels comfortable to me)

Well, I normally say it the same as [name_m]Steven[/name_m], but my brain was being silly at this moment I read it, so I guess I do pronounce it as ā€˜stef-ahnā€™.

Stephan = STEFF-un
Stephen = STEVE-un

But wouldnā€™t be surprised by Stephan pn ste-FAHN (maybe more like ste-FAWN in an American accent?)

Now that you mention it I should say Stef-ahn. But I was reading it as [name_m]Steven[/name_m] until I read through your post.

stef-AHN. [name_m]Stephen[/name_m] would be steev-in. Stefen would be stef-in.

With this pronunciation, Iā€™d be inclined to stay Stef-Ahn
