Stathi is Greek in Origin.

Stathi is a Greek short form of Stathis (Στάθης), itself a familiar diminutive of Efstathios/Eustathios (Εὐστάθιος). The name derives from eu- “good, well” + a stem related to histēmi “to stand,” yielding the sense “steadfast,” “well‑founded,” or “stable.” In Greek usage, Stathi often reflects the everyday vocative form addressed to someone named Stathis, and it has become a self-contained given name among the Greek diaspora.

The broader name family has deep Byzantine and ecclesiastical roots, borne by bishops and scholars such as Eustathius of Thessalonica (12th century). Greek variants include Stathis and the formal Efstathios; the Latinized form is Eustathius. Feminine counterparts are Efstathia (Ευσταθία) and the diminutive Stathoula. Related forms appear across Orthodox traditions, for example Slavic Evstafiy. In Greek name‑day tradition, Efstathios is commemorated on 20 September (Saint Eustathios Plakidas) and also on 21 February (Saint Eustathius of Antioch).
