Eustace

Eustace is the English form of Eustachius or Eustathius, two Greek names that became conflated in the post-classical period. Saint Eustace, known by both spellings, was a 2nd-century Roman general who converted to Christianity after seeing a vision of a cross between the antlers of a stag he was hunting; he was later burned to death for refusing to worship the Roman gods and is now regarded as the patron saint of hunters. His cult made the name common in medieval England, though it is now rare.

Eustace moved from #782 to #791 for boys between 1882 and 1885. Its highest annual birth count came in 1882, with 7 births.
