Eustachio is Greek in Origin.

Eustachio is the Italian form of Latin Eustachius, from Greek Eustachios, built on eu (“good, well”) + stachys (“ear of grain”), yielding the sense “fruitful, abundant,” sometimes blended with the near-homophone Eustathios (“steadfast”). The name came into the West via early Christian tradition and classical transmission, preserving the agricultural, prospering undertone of its Greek root.

Usage in Italy clusters around devotion to Saint Eustace, the legendary Roman general converted by a stag with a cruciform rack; Rome’s church of Sant’Eustachio and Renaissance scholarship helped keep it known. Notables include anatomist Bartolomeo Eustachio (Eustachius), eponym of the Eustachian tube, and the mathematician Eustachio Manfredi. International variants include Eustace (English), Eustache (French), Eustaquio (Spanish), Eustachy (Polish), and Eustachius (Latin); feminine forms are Eustachia and Eustacia. Today Eustachio is rare, carrying an antiquarian, learned elegance.
