Anastassia is Greek in Origin.

Anastassia is a less-common variant of Anastasia, the Greek feminine form of Anastasios, from Greek anastasis meaning “resurrection” or “rising again.” Used by early Christians to mark Easter-time births and devotion to the Resurrection, the name flourished in the Byzantine world and across the Eastern Orthodox sphere, later gaining Western visibility through saints such as Anastasia of Sirmium and, centuries on, through the Romanov Grand Duchess. The double-s spelling often appears in Francophone and Russophone transliterations to signal a clear s sound.

Variants include Anastasia, Anastasiya, Anastasiia, Anastassiya, and Belarusian-influenced Nastassia; short forms range from Nastya/Nastia and Tasya/Tasia to Stasia and Ana. Masculine counterparts are Anastasios and the Latinized Anastasius. Meaning centers on “resurrection,” often interpreted as “rebirth,” making Anastassia a name associated with renewal and hope. Though rarer than Anastasia in English-speaking countries, it remains familiar across Eastern Europe and diasporic communities.
