AD 34 traditionally venerated as the protomartyr or first martyr of Christianity , [1] was according to the Acts of the Apostles a deacon in the early church at Jerusalem who aroused the enmity of members of various synagogues by his teachings. Accused of blasphemy at his trial, he made a speech denouncing the Jewish authorities who were sitting in judgment on him and was then stoned to death. His martyrdom was witnessed by Saul of Tarsus, a Pharisee who would later become a follower of Jesus and known as Paul the Apostle. The only primary source for information about Stephen is the New Testament book of the Acts of the Apostles. The Lutheran Church recognizes Stephen as a saint as it recognizes all Christians as saints. Eastern Christian iconography shows him as a young, beardless man with a tonsure , wearing a deacon's vestments , and often holding a miniature church building or a censer.

Stephen or Steven is a common English first name. Originally, as the verb suggests, the noun had a more general meaning of any "circle"—including a circle of people, a circling wall around a city, and, in its earliest recorded use, the circle of a fight, which is found in the Iliad of Homer. The name, in both the forms Stephen and Steven, is commonly shortened to Steve or Stevie. In English, the female version of the name is " Stephanie ".
