Resurrection
Originally a diminutive of the Greek name Anastasia, Stacy emerged as an independent name in the 20th century. It carries the meaning of 'resurrection' or 'one who shall rise again.' While it peaked in popularity during the 1970s and 1980s, it remains a recognizable classic of that era.
