This suggests that the name may have been initially given as a nickname to someone who appeared tired or lethargic.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Stanchina surname can be found in the Venetian archives, where a certain Giovanni Stanchina was mentioned in a document dated 1572. It is likely that this individual or their ancestors had migrated to the Venetian region from another part of Italy, possibly the northern regions near the Alps.

His most famous work, "La Voce del Mare" (The Voice of the Sea), is still widely studied and appreciated today.

Another notable figure from this time period was Lucia Stanchina, born in 1848 in Rome. She was a pioneering educator and advocate for women's rights, establishing several schools and organizations dedicated to the education and empowerment of young women.
