Throughout the world, ستين (Sten , Steen , Steyn ) is a common predominantly masculine, but scarcely female first name. The first name ستين is habitual in Northern Europe, particularly Sweden, where it is quite a common masculine name, Denmark, and Estonia, where it is quite a rare masculine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Sweden, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Denmark. More prevalently, ستين is the last name as well as the forename.
ستين is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Sten Stensson Stéen ; Sten Ljung , the fictional character of the Bert Diaries and Swindle McSue .
