Stanic Surname Meaning

Serbian and Croatian (Stanić); Slovenian (Stanič): patronymic from a short form of the personal name Stanislav or any other Slavic personal name based on the element stan ‘become stay’ (from a derivative of Old Slavic stojati ‘to stand’).

As a Serbian and Croatian surname it can also be a metronymic from the female short form Stana which was sometimes given to a girl in a family where only girls were being born because it was understood as a derivative of the imperative stani! ‘stop!’.
