Stacy, sometimes spelled Stacey, Staci, or Stacie is a common first name for women, and occasionally men. The most common male spelling is "Stacy".

The meaning of the name is disputed. Baby naming guides cite two alternative English derivations of Greek origins; Eustace (Eustachios) meaning "bountiful grain"[1], and Anastasia, which in Greek means "of resurrection". The bountiful grapes meaning is often applied to boys and the resurrection meaning applied to girls.

Anastasia in turn is derived from the two words "Ana" meaning up and "Stasis" mean standing or stable. In both the male and female names, the alternative meaning of "stable" or "upstanding" may be applied.

Other related names include Eustacia, Stasia, and Stasha.
