Anastasius Ἀναστάσιος m Ancient Greek (Latinized)
Latinized form of the Greek name Ἀναστάσιος (Anastasios), which meant "resurrection" from Greek ἀνάστασις (anastasis) (composed of the elements ἀνά (ana) meaning "up" and στάσις (stasis) meaning "standing"). This was the name of numerous early saints and martyrs, including a 7th-century monk and writer from Alexandria who is especially venerated in the Eastern Church.
Eustathius Εὐστάθιος m Ancient Greek (Latinized)

This was the name of a few early saints, including the 2nd-century martyr also known as Eustachius (see Eustace).
