History & Origin

Stace is a one-syllable short form of Stacy, whose roots lie in the old name Eustace, from Greek Eustakhios, taken to mean 'fruitful' or 'steadfast.' As a boy's name Stace appears in United States records from around 1960 and touched a faint high in 1968. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year.

A boy named Stace then would be in his fifties now. The name reads as a crisp, mid-century clip of Stacy, which itself drifted toward girls in later decades; Stace has not revived and stays a rare, brisk one-beat choice.

Did you know? Stace reaches back through Stacy to Eustace, a name once carried by an early Christian saint and martyr.
