Anastasiya is the East Slavic transliteration of the Greek name Anastasía (from anástasis, “resurrection,” “rebirth”). It entered the Slavic world via Byzantine Christian influence and has been sustained by Orthodox devotion to martyrs such as St. Anastasia of Sirmium and St. Anastasia of Rome. In Russian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian records, the form Анастасия has been continuous since medieval times, with renewed popularity from the late 20th century onward across post‑Soviet countries and their diasporas.

International equivalents include Anastasia (English/Italian/Spanish), Anastasija (Serbian/Macedonian), Nastasija/Nastasya, Anastasiia (Ukrainian transliteration), Nastassia (Belarusian), Anastazja (Polish), Anastázia (Slovak), and Anasztázia (Hungarian); masculine counterparts are Anastasios/Anastasius and Anastasiy. Common Slavic diminutives are Nastya, Nastenka, Asya, Tasya, and Stasya. The name’s Easter-season symbolism and elegant cadence keep it fashionable, while the variant spelling Anastasiya preserves the Cyrillic sound pattern (ah-nah-stah-SEE-ya) in Latin script.
