Sephie???

Does anybody know anything about the name Sephie? It was my great-aunt's name and I love it, but I have no idea where it came from. It could possibly be a nickname, but I don't know what it could be short for either. Unfortunately, I am also unsure of it's background. If anyone could help me, though, it'd be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps a short for Seraphine?

Possibly a nickname for, or shortened form of, Josephine. A male equivalent, occasionally used as a nickname for Joseph, is Seph.

Maybe a variant of Stephie? I don't know, but I can tell you that there is a young female character in the comic book Meridian (from CrossGen Comics) who's named Sephie.

My name is Sephie and I often get asked if it's short for anything but it's not. It also gets confused for Sophie, Stephanie, Sophia. I now will respond to anything that starts with S.

it could be anything with Seph or Sef somewhere in the name. Sephora or Josephine seem the most likely.
