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, and stasis, meaning standing, conveying the idea of rising or coming back to life. The name carried strong Christian associations through Saint Anastasia, a martyr venerated in both Eastern and Western traditions. Closely related forms include Nastasya, Nastya, and the full form Anastasia, which remains widely used across Slavic and European cultures.
