Stephanos identifies the man chosen with others, active among the people, opposed, killed, mourned, and remembered in later speech.

The attested forms consistently identify the same individual across narrative and reported speech: he is chosen, performs wonders, is debated with, stoned, mourned, and later recalled in connection with his death.

1. Personal name identifying one individual · dominant

   The nominative form identifies the individual performing wonders in Acts 6:8, while the accusative form marks him as chosen in Acts 6:5, stoned in Acts 7:59, and entombed in Acts 8:2. The dative form places debate with him in Acts 6:9 and refers to pressure arising upon him in Acts 11:19; the genitive form in Acts 22:20 identifies the witness whose blood was being shed. In Acts 6:5 the APB renders the clause "they chose Stephen," and the surrounding occurrences continue to refer to that same named man.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB presents the term as "Stephen" in clauses about choosing, wonders, debate, stoning, burial, persecution, and remembered bloodshed. These renderings confirm the verse-level identification rather than establish a separate lexical nuance.
