John, I did understand every word, and Stevan

Stefen

Stefek, actually ;-)

I thought that's what I typed, sorry. It's certainly what I intended.

I'm quite used to various twists of the name; Stefak's a common one, while
the finest deliberate anagram has me adorned with Middle-Eastern headgear:
Fez Atabesk.

I'm interested in the origin - but not enough to press you if you don't
divulge such things :-)

My first name was my mother's, my middle one her maternal grandmother's
surname (family name), originally, I suppose, where part of the family
lived, and the last my husband's family name.
