Estiven is a variant of the name Stephen, which derives from the Greek name Stephanos (Στέφανος). Stephanos means 'crown' or 'garland', often associated with victory or honor. The name Stephen has a long and rich history, particularly in Christian tradition, due to Saint Stephen, the first Christian martyr. Over centuries, the name spread throughout Europe, taking on various forms in different languages.

Estiven specifically appears to be a modern, phonetic spelling or a regional adaptation, particularly prevalent in Spanish-speaking cultures. While Stephen is traditionally male, the phonetic spelling and modern usage of Estiven can sometimes lead to its application as a unisex name, though it remains predominantly male. Its rise in popularity reflects a trend of adapting classic names with unique spellings.
