Anastasi is Greek in Origin.

Anastasi is a clipped or regional variant of the Greek-rooted names Anastasia (feminine) and Anastasios/Anastasio (masculine), all from Greek anástasis “resurrection” - a concept central to early Christian naming. Used in Greek- and Mediterranean-speaking communities, it can appear as a unisex given name or as a familiar short form; in Italy and Malta it also survives as a hereditary surname.

The name flourished across the Christian East from late antiquity, borne by martyrs such as St. Anastasia of Sirmium and numerous bishops named Anastasius, which fostered wide adoption through Slavic and Romance lands. Related forms include Anastasia, Anastasie (Fr), Anastasija (South Slavic), Anastazja (Pl), Nastasia/Nastasya/Nastassja, Anastasios (Gr), Anastasio/Anastacio (It/Es), and Romanian Anastasie. Common diminutives are Nastya (Russian) and Tasos (Greek, from Anastasios). Meaning remains explicitly “resurrection,” and the name often sees festive associations with Easter in Orthodox tradition.
