Nastia

Nastia is a Russian diminutive form of Anastasia, which derives from the Greek Anastasia, the feminine of Anastasios, built on the root anastasis meaning resurrection. The name has long been popular in Orthodox Christian cultures, closely associated with Saint Anastasia, a martyr venerated in both Eastern and Western Christianity. Nastia is used as an affectionate everyday form in Russia and other Slavic countries. Related forms include Nastya, Nastasya, and the full name Anastasia, which appears across many European languages.
