Nastasia

Nastasia is a Russian feminine name functioning as a short form of Anastasia, which derives from the Greek Anastasis, meaning resurrection. The Greek root combines ana, meaning up or again, with histanai, meaning to stand, giving the overall sense of one who rises again. The name was borne by several early Christian martyrs, most notably Saint Anastasia of Sirmium, which helped spread it widely across Eastern Europe. Closely related forms include Nastasya, Nastya, and the full form Anastasia.
