To what I recall from a historical account, the name was given to a follower of Christianity in its early years a well known man by the name Stephenos I think might have an "a" in there as I'm not sure if he was Greek. Anywho, he was killed for his strong belief and ideals in educating two slaves on reading, writing, and arithmetic (math). Whether or not he did so that they wouldn't have to be manual labor slaves, just to bring up their value to turn a profit, or to give them a better life as domestic slaves were treated pretty well for the most part, depending on the owner. Anyways, I believe he made it in the Catholic hall of Saints, don't quote me on that not sure. Interesting how not many people had posted about that particular story. Thought it might be important to mention.
I can't believe all these comments and nobody has mentioned Steve McQueen (and yes I know his real name was Terrence Stephen McQueen)!
