Staz

Staz is a proper noun that may be used as a personal name or as a fictional character name. It does not have a widely recognized meaning in standard dictionaries and is not commonly used as a general noun in everyday language. Its usage is largely limited to names in fiction or as a nickname in some contexts.

In popular culture, Staz is best known as the name of a central character in the Japanese manga Blood Lad by Yuuki Kodama, first published in 2009. Staz Charlie Blood is depicted as a vampire from the demon world and appears as a key figure in the series, which was later adapted into an anime that aired in 2013.

Outside of this fictional context, Staz may occur as a rare given name or nickname, but it remains relatively uncommon and does not correspond to a standard given-name origin or meaning. The etymology of the name is unclear, and it is likely a modern invention or stylistic choice rather than a traditional name with a defined lineage.

Because of the variety of uses and the lack of a single, authoritative definition, references to Staz typically depend on the context. In reference works, it is treated primarily as a proper noun associated with notable media appearances rather than as a term with general semantic content.
