I hate both Stan and the full name Stanley. They always make me think of obnoxious American guys.

Stan is also a name historically attested in Romania and is in use today. Its origin is most probably Visigothic (old Germanic tribes who founded first states after Romans lost province Dacia to barbarians in the 3rd century AD). The name is also cognate to "stone" in English, which is also of Germanic origin.
Slavic tribes migrating over the Carpathians a couple of centuries after the Visigothic invasion may have also brought Stanislav ('stan' - to stand and 'slav' - glory). However,
In Romanian, Stan is a full name, and it is unlikely that it is a shortened version of Stanislav, as Romanians don't quite shorten names this way.
