What is the correct meaning? This is my name, it is a male name, and it is European. Now I am confused because I posted here before and someone with Stancel as their last name told me it comes from the Romanian word "stanca" which means "rock" or "cliff". BUT I also was doing research on it and someone else on another site said it comes from the name of a obscure village in England named Stancil which means "stone chamber" or something. Someone please help.
