ArchivesMeaning of name Stanislava and stana
Originates from central europe:
Czech, Slovak and Polish (version: Stanislawa)
male version: Stanislav / Stanislaw
Short/nick-names:
Stana (pronounced stanya - with accent on the first a)
Stasha (more prevalent in poland)
Stania (my personal version, see Stana)
Slava (more commonly used by males, but not restricted to)
I don't know what the first root of the name means although some speculate it is derived from the latin word for star.
Slava: is a slavic (Slovak and Czech specifically from my knowledge)word in modern times meaning Glory or triumph - even "pomp".
Slav is the word for a race of people - the Slavic race.
The name couldeven possibly be derived from the word "slovo" meaning "word"...the root word that inspired the whole nation of Slovakia (a nation of the spoken word).
I am certain there are more variations on the name as well as possible meanings. But one is is for certain, it is of Slavic origin.

Since Stanya is a word used in Romany (gypsy) for [horse] stable it is possible it is of Rom origin. Further evidence of this is that most of Rom vocabulary is rooted in Sanskrit where we also find the word Stanya, meaning milk.

From what I know
stan- is derived from the old Slavic verb stanat = "to become". From there, Stanislav/a = "(the one who) becomes glorious", Stanimir = "(the one who) becomes great", etc.
