A masculine given name of Greek origin, or reference to Saint Eustace. Also appears in literature, notably as a character name in C.S. Lewis's Narnia series.
From Greek 'Eustachios' meaning 'fruitful' or 'productive', derived from 'eu' (good) and 'stachys' (ear of corn). Saint Eustace was a legendary Roman general who converted to Christianity, making the name popular in medieval Europe.
Saint Eustace supposedly saw a vision of Christ between a stag's antlers while hunting, leading to his conversion - this dramatic story made him patron saint of hunters. The name literally means 'good harvest', connecting to ancient agricultural blessings.
