Nastasha is in Origin.
Nastasha is a modern anglicized variant of Natasha, the standard Russian diminutive of Natalia/Natalya (Наталья). Natalia derives from Latin natalis, “of birth,” long linked to the feast of Christ’s Nativity, giving the sense “born at Christmas.” The spelling with -st- may also echo Slavic pet forms of Anastasia - Nastasya/Nastassia - whose Greek root anastasis means “resurrection.” In practice, Nastasha functions as a creative spelling of Natasha and carries the same meaning.
The name is rare in Slavic records and emerges chiefly in English-speaking countries from the late 20th century, when Natasha rose in popularity through literature (Tolstoy’s Natasha Rostova) and pop culture. Related variants include Natasha, Natascha (German), Natacha (French), Natasia, as well as cross-forms Nastasya/Nastassia and Nastassja. Formal counterparts are Natalia/Natalya and Anastasia.
