Stacey

Stacey is an English name derived from the medieval given name Eustace, which came through Old French Eustache from the Latin Eustachius, itself adapted from the Greek Eustakhios, meaning "fruitful" or "productive," from eu (good) and stakhys (ear of grain). It was originally used as a surname or pet form of Eustace before transitioning into independent use as a given name. In the twentieth century it became predominantly feminine in English-speaking countries, though it retains occasional masculine use. Variant spellings include Stacy, Staci, and Stacie.
