Steevenson

Steevenson is a surname of British origin, principally a spelling variant of Stevenson. The name derives from the medieval given name Stephen, with the patronymic suffix -son, indicating “son of Stephen.” The given name Stephen ultimately comes from the Greek Stephanos, meaning crown or garland.

Variant spellings and related names include Stevenson, Steevens, and Steevenson in some records. The diffusion of these forms reflects regional pronunciation and orthographic changes in Scotland, England, and later North America.

Historically, Steevenson appears in records in the British Isles as a family name during the late medieval and early modern periods. As with other patronymic surnames, bearers moved to urban centers, port towns, and colonial settlements, contributing to diaspora communities in North America, Australia, and other former British territories. Today Steevenson remains a relatively uncommon spelling; most people with the root surname are found under Stevenson or Steevens in civil registries and genealogical sources.

In modern times, Steevenson is primarily encountered as a family name rather than a place or institution. There are no widely known geographic locations or major organizations listed under Steevenson, and no universally recognized public figures with this exact spelling are documented in major reference works. Individuals with this surname may appear in genealogical records and local histories.
