Comments for ŠTEFAN:

It´s Slovak, not Slovene.
Slovak pronunciation "SHTE-fahn".
-- Karcoolka  6/25/2007
This is a Slovene name, but it is old-fashioned. It was very popular early in the 1900's, but Stefan is the modern spelling.
-- earthnut  7/3/2007
Edit : both forms are used, Stefan has only recently surpassed this form. Pronounced SHTE-fan in Slovene too, by the way.

Czech name day celebrated on 26th December.

Although not very common, Štefan is also used in Croatia.
However, owing to the fact that it used to be much more common (second only to Stjepan), "Štef" is today a common short form/nickname for Stjepan.
