What is the meaning of the name Stacey ?

The baby name Stacey is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced STAY-see.

Stacey is English, Greek, Old French in Origin.

Stacey is an English given name from medieval Stacy, a pet form and surname tied to Eustace. The root is Greek Eustachys, the earliest relevant form, built from eu, good or well, and stachys, an ear of grain; its literal sense is fruitful or rich in grain. Through Old French Eustace, the name entered Middle English after the Norman period.

In England, Stacy and Stacey appear first as masculine diminutives and surnames; feminine use is largely modern. American records show Stacey entering girls’ charts in the 1940s and peaking in the 1970s, while male use faded earlier. Spellings such as Stacy, Stacie, Staci, and Stacee reflect mid twentieth-century Anglophone naming fashions. Because Stasia is a short form of Anastasia, Stacey is sometimes linked with Greek anastasis, resurrection, but that is a secondary association rather than its main etymology.
