Stjepan Kovačić II


 * For his grandfather, please see "Stjepan Kovačić I".

Stjepan Kovačić (II) was a Croatian man and a member of the House of Kovačić of Sveti Matej, village in Hrvatsko zagorje.

He was a son of Nikola Kovačić and his second wife, Barica Kovačić, and thus a younger half-brother of Marica Koščević and elder half-brother of Petar Kovačić. Stjepan was born and raised on the Kovačić Hill. As a baby, he was baptised by a Catholic priest. His half-sister Marica was raising him alongside Nikola; later, Stjepan became a stepson to Marica Kovačić, the last wife of Nikola.

Stjepan went to Sesvete and married one woman, who bore him daughter Nada. Nada was Stjepan‘s only child.

Etymology
Stjepanʻs name means "crown" (Greek word: στέφανος), and it is a name of the famous saint, whilst the name of his daughter means "hope".
