Eustáquio

Eustáquio is the Portuguese form of Eustace, derived ultimately from the Late Latin Eustachius, which was conflated with Eustathius from Greek origins. The name's core meaning is rooted in two Greek elements: εὖ (eu, 'good') and either στάχυς (stachys, 'spike of grain, ear of corn') or στάσις (stasis, 'standing'). Hence, Eustache/Stachys could mean 'fruitful' or 'standing firm.'
