Sarah and Elya Yelnats named their child Stanley in honor of Stanley's great-great-grandfather, who had a significant impact on their family's history. The name symbolizes a connection to their roots and the family's legacy, particularly after the challenges they faced. Additionally, it reflects the theme of perseverance and the importance of family ties present in Louis Sachar's "Holes."

In chapter 18, the sponsor's gift comes from Stanley Yelnats, the great-great-grandson of Elya Yelnats. Stanley's family has a history of bad luck, and the curse that was placed on their ancestor Elya is believed to have brought them misfortune. The gift is a result of Stanley breaking the curse by fulfilling a promise made by his ancestor.
I think you must be referring to the 2003 movie "Holes" in which Stanley Yelnats finds redemption for his family after the wrong-doing of his great-great-grandfather Elya Yelnats. Over a 110 years ago, a curse of bad luck was put on the Yelnats family by Madame Zeroni when Elya broke a promise with her. I guess you would describe his great-great-grandfather as untrustworthy, dishonest, and a bit of a scoundrel.
