The story of Stacye
Stacy has two ancestors. One is Anastasia, the Greek name tied to the word for resurrection, whose short forms include Stacy and Stacey. The other is Eustace, a medieval name that gave English the surname Stacy. American families made Stacy a given name for girls and wrote it several ways; Stacye adds a final e that is silent. Nothing else is recorded about this spelling.
Meaningscholars disagree
resurrection (via Anastasia) or fruitful (via Eustace)
Stacy reached girls by two roads: as a short form of Anastasia, Greek for 'resurrection', and as an English surname descended from Eustace, often read as Greek for 'fruitful'. Stacye is a spelling of Stacy, and nothing records which road a given Stacye followed.

Fashion outlook
Stacye sits outside the current charts, and that is its own kind of answer: naming cycles can only date the names they carried up. A name this rare has no decade stamped on it — it cannot go out of fashion, because it was never in.
