Nastya

Nastya is a Russian feminine name functioning as a diminutive of Anastasia, which derives from the Greek Anastasis, meaning resurrection. The name has deep roots in Eastern Orthodox Christian tradition, where Anastasia was venerated as a fourth-century martyr saint. Nastya is widely used as an affectionate everyday form throughout Russia and other Slavic countries, sitting alongside other short forms such as Nastenka and Stasya. The full form Anastasia and its variants remain common across Greek, Romanian, and broader Slavic naming traditions.
