Meaning of the Name Eustace
The name Eustace comes from the Old French form of the names Eustachius and Eustathius, the Latinized forms of the Greek names
Eustakhios (derived from "eu" - "well, good" and "stakhys" - "grapes") and Eustathios (derived from "eu" - well, good" and "stēnai" - "to stand").
Obviously, these two names originally had different meanings (Eustakhios meant "good harvest" while Eustathios could mean "stable, steadfast"), but at some point they merged into a single form. The ultimate origin is still an obscure question.
