My first name is an alternate German form of Stephen, which is derived from the Greek word for Crown, Stephanos
Oddly enough, if Behind The Name is to be believed, every variant of Stephen is supposed to be pronounced with the emphasis on the first syllable. I only bring this up because I'll be fucked of half the people who try to pronounce my name don't put the emphasis on the wrong syllable.
My last name means Miller, like the guy who mills grains, in a mill. however instead of translating the name to english, my family apparently transliterated it, so the "ö" was made into an "oe". Again, I'll be damned if half the people who read my last name don't try to pronounce it Mueller, like Bueller.
For those of you playing along at home, my name is spelled Steffen Moeller.
