Nasos is Greek in Origin.
Nasos (Νάσος) is a modern Greek male name, commonly used as a familiar short form of Athanasios and Anastasios. Depending on its source, it conveys either “immortal” (Athanasios: a- “not” + thanatos “death”) or “resurrection” (Anastasios: anastasis “rising up”). Once chiefly colloquial, it is now also bestowed independently in Greece and Cyprus.
Variants and related forms include Thanasis and Thanos (from Athanasios) and Tasos and Sakis (from Anastasios); formal counterparts are Athanasios/Anastasios, with feminine Athanasia/Anastasia. Spelling alternates Nasos/Nassos coexist in the Greek diaspora. Not to be confused with the Latin cognomen Naso (as in Ovid), which is etymologically unrelated. Compact and friendly, Nasos preserves deep Hellenic roots while feeling contemporary.
