It's also from the Russian word "статный" which means graceful, stately, majestic.

It's also Serbian. Stana means 'to stop' as in to stop having female children. This was used in times when a male heir of the family was needed so they would name the daughter Stana so no more female children were born after her.
Stana is the first name of actress Stana Katic. She was named Stana after her grandmother. Stana is perhaps most known for her starring role, as the tough-nut "Homicide Det. Kate Beckett" on the TV show "Castle".
