Anastyasia is a modern ornamental respelling of Anastasia, the Greek feminine form of Anastasios, from anastasis meaning “resurrection.” The name spread through early Christian communities to honor the Resurrection and appears in martyrologies and liturgies, remaining especially popular in Eastern Orthodox regions. In the West it gained visibility through Saint Anastasia of Rome and, later, the story of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna.
