The name Stana is actually too short for a Slavic name. So, there are several options:
-> Stana is a female abbreviation for Constantin. Other possible translation of Constantin is Stoyan (f. Stoyana). This option is to be excluded for Muslim people.
-> Stana is an abbreviation for Dostana (enough children, or enough daughters).
-> Stana is an abbreviation for Stanislava ("let the glory stay", masculine Stanislav).
-> Stana is an abbreviation for Stanimira ("let the peace stay", masculine Stanimir).
Stanka, Stanimirka etc. are diminutive forms for Stana, Stanimira, correspondingly.
