The eustace Surname
eustace Name Meaning and History
English: from the personal name Eustace (Latin
Eustacius, from Greek Eustakhyos, meaning ‘fruitful’,
blended with the originally distinct name Eustathios
‘orderly’). The name was borne by various minor saints, but little is
known of the most famous St. Eustace, patron saint of hunters, said to
have been converted by the vision of a crucifix between the antlers of
a hunted stag. In some cases this may be an Americanized form of a
Greek family name based on Eusthathios, such as
Eustathiadis or Eustathidis.
