Anestasia is Greek in Origin.
Anestasia is a modern respelling of Anastasia, the Greek-derived feminine name from anastasis, meaning “resurrection” or “rising again.” Through early Christian usage the name evoked themes of renewal and Easter, and it became popular for girls baptized around the Paschal season. Though the initial e is nonstandard, Anestasia retains the same linguistic root and symbolic sense as Anastasia.
Usage spread from the Byzantine and Slavic Orthodox world, where several saints and martyrs - especially St. Anastasia of Sirmium - cemented its appeal, to Western Europe and beyond; it later gained royal sheen via Russia’s Romanov dynasty. International variants include Anastasia (standard), Anastasie (French), Anastazja (Polish), Anastácia (Portuguese), Anastasija (South Slavic), Anastasiia/Anastasiya (Ukrainian/Russian). Diminutives and short forms range from Nastya/Nastia and Stasia/Tasia to Stacy and Ana. Related masculine forms are Anastasios and Anastasius; surnames like Anastasi and Anastasio share the same root. Rare spellings akin to Anestasia include Anestasia and Anestacia.
