Nastia

Nastia is a Russian and Ukrainian diminutive of Anastasia, which derives from the Greek Anastasis, meaning resurrection. The name became widespread in Christian tradition partly through Saint Anastasia of Sirmium, a fourth-century martyr venerated in both Eastern and Western churches. While Nastia functions primarily as an informal pet form, it is commonly used as a standalone given name in Russia, Ukraine, and other Slavic-speaking regions. Related forms include Nastya, Nastenka, and the full form Anastasia, which has equivalents across many European languages.
