Stellan

Stellan is a masculine given name used in Sweden. It means “peaceful one” or “calm” and has a German origin. Although many think it is equivalent to Stelio used in Italy, Stelian used in Romania and Stelios in Greece, all serving as masculine versions of the feminine name Stela which means star in Latin language, it is not proven.
