Anastasio is Greek in Origin.

Anastasio is the Spanish and Italian form of the Greek name Anastasios, derived from anástasis “resurrection” (aná “again, up” + stásis “standing”). Via the Latin Anastasius, it entered the Romance languages early, and its meaning - “resurrection” or “one who will rise again” - gave it special resonance in Christian contexts, especially around Easter and in communities honoring saints of the name.

Borne by several early bishops, martyrs, and two Byzantine emperors, the name spread throughout the Mediterranean and later into Latin America. Common variants include Anastasios (Greek), Anastasius (Latin), Anastácio (Portuguese), Anastase (French), and Anastazy (Polish); related feminine forms are Anastasia and Anastasie. Diminutives and nicknames vary by region: Tasio and Taso, Stasio, and in Mexico Tacho. The surname Anastasio also appears in Italian and Hispanic families. Notable bearers include Anastasio Bustamante, a 19th‑century president of Mexico, reinforcing the name’s historical footprint across the Spanish-speaking world.
