Nastya

Nastya is a Russian and Ukrainian diminutive of Anastasia, which derives from the Greek name Anastasios, built on the root anastasis meaning resurrection. The name gained wide use in the Christian world partly through Saint Anastasia of Sirmium, a martyr venerated in both Eastern and Western churches. Nastya functions as an everyday familiar form in Slavic cultures and is sometimes registered as an independent given name. Related forms include Nastasya, Nastasia, Stasia, and the full form Anastasia.
