Eustache is Greek in Origin.

Eustache is the French form of medieval Latin Eustachius, ultimately from Greek Eustachios, built from eu “good” and stachys “ear of grain,” conveying the sense of “fruitful, productive.” In medieval texts it was often blended with the related Greek Eustathios “steadfast,” so the name can evoke both abundance and constancy in later tradition.

It spread through Europe via the cult of Saint Eustace, the legendary Roman general-turned-martyr and later patron of hunters, giving the name wide currency in medieval France. Notable bearers include the poet Eustache Deschamps (14th century) and painter Eustache Le Sueur (17th century), and the name survives in place-names such as Saint-Eustache. International variants include Eustace (English), Eustachius (German/Latin), Eustachio (Italian), Eustaquio (Spanish), Eustáquio (Portuguese), Eustachy (Polish), and Eustachijus (Lithuanian); feminine forms appear as Eustachie (French) and Eustacia (English). Today Eustache feels antique, scholarly, and richly continental.
