Anastasiy is Greek, Russian in Origin.

Anastasiy is the East Slavic masculine form of Greek Anastasios (Αναστάσιος), from anástasis “resurrection.” Through Church Slavonic it entered Russian and Ukrainian as Анастасий/Анастасій, spreading with early Christian veneration of saints such as Anastasius of Persia and several popes named Anastasius. Used in medieval and early modern Orthodox circles, it is now rare in everyday naming yet endures in liturgical calendars and among families honoring religious tradition across Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus.

Variants include Greek Anastasios and Latin Anastasius; Spanish/Italian Anastasio; French/Romanian Anastase (Romanian also masculine Anastasie); Polish Anastazy; and the feminine cognate Anastasia (Anastasiya/Anastasiia in Slavic use). Also romanized Anastasii. The meaning evokes rebirth and hope, often linked to Easter.
