Stanislas
Stanislas Origin and Meaning
Stanislas is a masculine name of Slavic origin, specifically from the Polish name Stanisław, combining "stan" (state, condition) and "slava" (glory, fame), meaning "achieving glory" or "one who achieves glory." This distinguished name has been borne by Polish kings, saints, and notable figures throughout history, including St. Stanislas Kostka, a 16th-century Jesuit saint. While common in Poland and other Slavic countries, Stanislas remains relatively rare in English-speaking regions, giving it an air of distinction and exotic appeal. The French form Stanislas is often used internationally. The name carries a dignified, classical quality with its historical associations and elegant sound. Its nickname options include Stan, Stas, or Staś, offering versatility for different stages of life.
