269.0. "STEPHEN FRANCIS" by PNO::ALEJANDRO () Tue Jul 19 1988 20:58

    My son was born on May 14, 1987. I named him Stephen
    Francis.  When I was a young girl, I went to school
    with a boy named Stephen, always loved that name. I
    just knew that when I had a child (boy) I would name
    him Stephen.  Francis, is for Saint Francis of Assissi.
    Lost my baby book need to know what Stephen and Francis
    mean.
    
    Thanks

    Its easier for me as I am logged in from home so my wife Susan can
    run and get the babies names book.
    
    STEPHEN    
    
    "From the Greek, meaning 'crowned' (Acts 6.5) Variants are Steve
    and Stevie. Example: St. Stephen." 
    
    FRANCES
    
    "From the Latin 'Franciscus', meaning a 'freeman'. Example:  Francis
    Bacon."
                                      
    
    Hope that helps,

    Thank you for the meaning, so my son's name means a "crowned freeman".
