Stanish is Slavic in Origin.

Stanish is a rare masculine given name most plausibly linked to the Slavic Stanis- family. It can be read as an Anglicized rendering of South Slavic Staniša (where š becomes “sh”) or as a clipped, modern variant of Stanislav/Stanisław. The root stan- in Slavic denotes “to stand, become, remain,” while -slav means “glory, fame,” yielding the sense “to become glorious,” “standing in glory,” or “steadfast glory.” Stanish also exists as a surname in several countries.

As a given name, Stanish is contemporary and uncommon in English-speaking contexts, while its cognates have deep medieval roots: Stanislav and Polish Stanisław were borne by Saint Stanislaus of Szczepanów (11th century), anchoring popularity in Central and Eastern Europe. Related forms and diminutives include Stan, Staś, Stas/Stash, Stane, and Staniša; feminine counterparts are Stanislava and Stanisława. Variant spellings across languages include Stanislau (Belarusian), Stanislaus (Latin/German), and Stanislavas (Lithuanian).
