Anestassia is a modern, embellished spelling of Anastasia, a name rooted in Greek Anastasía from anástasis, “resurrection.” Adopted by early Christians to commemorate rebirth at Easter, it was borne by several martyrs, notably Saint Anastasia of Sirmium. The name flourished in the Byzantine world and later across Slavic lands, especially Russia, where imperial and noble families favored it; Western awareness grew through the story of Grand Duchess Anastasia and later popular culture.

Though uncommon, Anestassia preserves the same meaning and broad pronunciation set as Anastasia (often a-nuh-STAY-zhə or a-na-STA-see-ə). Close variants include Anastasia, Anastasiya/Anastasiia (Russian/Ukrainian), Anastasija (South Slavic/Baltic), Anastazja (Polish), Anastasie (French/Romanian), and Anastácia/Anasztázia (Portuguese/Hungarian). Diminutives and short forms include Nastya, Nastia, Stasia, Tasia/Tasya, Asya, Ana, and Stacy. The spelling Anestassia suits parents seeking a distinctive twist without changing the venerable sense of “resurrection.”
