Stanley

Capital of Falklands

Stanley is a masculine given name, from an Old English place name meaning "stone clearing." It peaked in popularity in the early twentieth century and now sounds somewhat dated.

Stanley is also a surname, a famous brand of tools and thermoses, and the name of the NHL championship trophy: The team hoisted the Stanley Cup. (Lowercase stanley is not standard.)
