History & Origin

Statia began as a pet form carved out of Anastasia - and occasionally Eustacia - and was recorded as a given name in the early twentieth century. Its parent Anastasia comes from the Greek anastasis, 'resurrection', a meaning tied to Easter naming. Statia reached its modest high around 1916 and was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.

A girl named Statia at that time would be a great-grandmother today, and the form reads as a homespun early-century short name. It has not revived; families who like the sound now more often reach for Stacy or the full Anastasia, but Statia keeps a quaint, old-country charm.

Did you know? Statia comes from the middle of Anastasia, a clipping much like the way Stacy was drawn from the same long name.
