What is the meaning of the name Stacy ?

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

Stacy is English, Greek in Origin.

Stacy is an English name, first encountered as the medieval byname and surname Stace or Stacey. That form shortens Old French Eustace, from Latin Eustachius and Greek Eustachios; one Greek base, eustachys, combines eu, good, with stachys, ear of grain, giving the literal sense fruitful or rich in grain, while Eustathios supplied the associated idea of steadfastness. As a feminine nickname, Stacy also attaches to Greek Anastasia, from anastasis, resurrection.

Medieval Stace produced English surnames such as Stacy and Stacey, and the name was an uncommon masculine given name before its mid-twentieth-century American rise for girls. In the United States it became especially familiar in the 1960s and 1970s, often with spellings Stacey, Staci, and Stacie. Literary and media use includes Stacey McGill in The Baby-Sitters Club and Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man.
