There isn't a single perfect translation of "Stephen" in Irish Gaelic, as different spellings and variations exist depending on the desired level of accuracy and the specific dialect. However, the most common and accepted forms are:
* Stéaphán: This is a widely used and accepted form, reflecting the pronunciation closely.
* Stéafán: This is another common variation.
Therefore, while both are correct, Stéaphán is generally preferred.
