Stosh

jlw559 · July 2010

I've seen/heard this name a couple of times lately but the usually name sites I go to don't have anything.

So, is it an actual name or a nn?

The only time I ever heard of it was a character on Veronica Mars, Stosh Piznarski. He went by Piz.

There is a poster on one of the other boards who has a DS named Stosh (unless that is just a nn). I had never heard it before so always wondered too.

It looks like it is a British male name:

The poster spelled Stas, the Polish nn of Stanislaw (Stanley), phonetically

Huh?

The poster on TB I am referring to is on the toddler boards and has two tickers in her sig: one for her son named Stosh and the other for her daughter named Adeline (or something similar). Are we talking about the same person?

ETA: Hm, maybe we are! I just found this old post. I guess pictures/tickers are gone now, but it is the same names I was referring to:

Maybe, I don't recall which board I noticed the bumpie on but I remember a post where she mentioned where the name Stosh came from.

Stosh is eastern european. It's used as a nickname for Stanley or variations on that name. It is also used as a nickname for people whose last names have that sound. It is increasingly used as a stand alone name (I think Jessica Alba named her baby that.)

I have an uncle named Stanley who goes by Stosh. His family is Polish.

peonie222 · July 2010

My husband's family calls boys 'stosh' as a nickname. I think it's a fairly common Polish nickname, can't recall exactly what name it is short for, but I think it came from their Polish Grandfather. I don't think it's a 'Real' name, but to each their own!

I thought Jessica Alba had a girl named Honor.

Same here. Our neighbor where I grew up was named Stanley, but he went by Stosh.

Never heard of it...I'm hoping it's just a bad nickname.

When I was little, the lady who babysat me also babysat a family in which the oldest son's name was Stosh (he was about 6 years younger than me so that would make him around 26 now). The whole sibset was Stephanie, Stosh and Skyler(f). I always thought it was Norwegian, Finnish or Danish. I can't remember their last names to save my life.
