Anastacia

Anastacia is a feminine given name of Greek origin, derived from the word anastasis, meaning resurrection or rising up. It was widely adopted in early Christian communities as a name associated with the resurrection of Christ, and Saint Anastasia of Sirmium, a fourth-century martyr, helped spread its use throughout Europe. The name appears in numerous linguistic traditions, producing variants and cognates including Anastasia, Anastasie, Nastasia, Nastassja, and the short forms Stacy and Nastya.
