Stasanor

The first element of this name is derived from the Greek noun στάσις (stasis), which can mean "standing, placing, setting" as well as "a standing still". It basically refers to a state of standing (still). It is ultimately derived from the Greek verb ἵστημι (histemi) meaning "to stand, to make to stand" as well as "to stand still". Compare Anastasios (see Anastasius) and the modern English word ecstasy, both of which are etymologically related. The second element of this name is derived from Greek ανηρ (aner) meaning "man". One could then say that the meaning of this name is roughly "the standing of a man" or perhaps "the man who stands still". A known bearer of this name was Stasanor of Cyprus (4th century BC), an officer in the service of Alexander the Great, who was later made a satrap of Aria and then of Drangiana.
