Staci is a spelling of Stacy, pronounced the same way, so it shares Stacy's meaning and origin.
Stacy has two sources. As an English surname it comes from medieval pet forms of Eustace, Greek Eustachys, which DMNES glosses 'fruitful' (from eu 'good' and stachys 'ear of grain'). As a girls' name it is also a short form of Anastasia, the feminine of Anastasius, from Greek anastasis 'resurrection'.
