Anastashia is Greek in Origin.
Anastashia is a modern Anglicized variant of Anastasia, ultimately from the Greek name Anastasía, feminine of Anastasios, meaning resurrection from anastasis ("rising, standing up"). The name flourished among early Christians, especially for girls born around Easter, and was borne by saints including Anastasia of Sirmium. Through Byzantium and the Eastern Orthodox world it remained enduring, later gaining Western visibility via European courts and the Romanov grand duchess.
The -sh- spelling mirrors a common English pronunciation (anna-STAY-sha) and occasional phonetic renderings influenced by Slavic diminutives; it remains uncommon but readily understood. International forms include Anastasia (standard), Anastasiya/Anastasiia (Russian/Ukrainian), Anastasija (South Slavic), Anástasia (Portuguese), Anastasie (French), and Anastacia. Diminutives and short forms span Ana, Nastya, Nastasya, Stasia, Tasya, Asya; in English, Stacy/Stacey sometimes serves as a casual nickname.
