Stanley Yelnats IV's great-great grandfather, Elya Yelnats, married a woman named Sarah Miller in America. Sarah noticed that Yelnats spelled backwards became Stanley, so she named her son Stanley. The Stanleys after Stanley Yelnats I kept on liking the name, and they continued naming their children Stanley.
