What is the meaning of the name anastasija ?

The baby name anastasija is a Female name , 6 syllables long and is pronounced ah-nah-stah-SEE-yah.

anastasija is Greek in Origin.

Anastasija is the South and East Slavic and Baltic spelling of Anastasia, from Greek Anastasía, feminine of Anastásios, ultimately from anástasis “resurrection.” The name spread with Christianity and is long favored in Orthodox lands; it also appears in Roman Catholic calendars through veneration of Saint Anastasia of Sirmium, a late Roman martyr. In languages that write the y-sound with j, such as Serbian, Macedonian, Bosnian, Montenegrin, Latvian, and Lithuanian, the standard form is Anastasija.

Usage spans the medieval Byzantine–Slavic sphere and remains common today from the Balkans to Russia and the Baltics, often linked to themes of renewal and Easter. International variants include Anastasia (English, French, German), Anastasiya (Russian/Bulgarian), Anastasiia (Ukrainian), and Anastazja (Polish). Common short forms vary by language: Nastya and Asya (East Slavic), Stasa/Staša and Tasa (South Slavic), plus Ana and Nasta more generally. Related masculine forms are Anastasios and Anastas.
