Information
The actual meaning o Stephen's name is "crown". Through his Martyrdom, Stephen became the first disciple of Jesus to receive the crown. Stephen, a Deacon in the early Christian Church, helped the Church by taking care of the widows and the poor. The Apostles needed help with caring for the people, and so they appointed, or "ordained, seven Deacons. Stephen was the most famous of these because he was the first Martyr.
