Anastasios (Greek: Αναστάσιος) is a Greek masculine name derived from anástasis, “resurrection,” conveying “one who will rise again.” Embedded in early Christian devotion to the Resurrection, it spread throughout the Byzantine world and remains common in Greece and Cyprus. The name appears in hagiography and church history, borne by numerous saints and martyrs and, in its Latinized form Anastasius, by four popes.

Forms include Greek Anastasios/Anastásios, Latin Anastasius, Spanish and Italian Anastasio, Portuguese Anastácio, French Anastase, Romanian Anastasie, South Slavic Anastasije/Anastas, Bulgarian and Albanian Anastas, and Polish Anastazy; the cognate feminine is Anastasia. Familiar Greek short forms are Tasos/Tassos and Sakis; Basque usage yields Tasio. Usage today clusters in Orthodox and Mediterranean communities, with name days tied to saints such as Anastasios of Persia (22 January) and other regional commemorations near Easter.
