Anastas is Greek in Origin.

Anastas is a masculine given name found chiefly in the Balkans and Eastern Europe, deriving from Greek Anastasios, ultimately from anastasis “resurrection, rising up.” It entered Christian naming through the Byzantine and early church; veneration of saints and martyrs named Anastasius, and several popes of that name, helped sustain its use. The form Anastas appears in Bulgarian and Macedonian records and among Albanian and Greek Orthodox communities, though it has become relatively rare in modern times.

Variants and related forms include Greek Anastasios (and diminutive Tasos/Tassos), Latin Anastasius, East Slavic Anastasiy/Anastasii (short form Stas), Serbian Anastasije, Polish Anastazy/Anastaz, and Romanian Anastase/Anastasie; the feminine counterpart is Anastasia. The name’s meaning links it to Easter symbolism, renewal, and new beginnings. It should not be confused with Atanas/Athanasios, a look‑alike name of different origin meaning “immortal.”
