Nastashia is Russian, Slavic in Origin.

Nastashia is a modern Anglicized variant of the Slavic name Nastasia/Nastassia, itself a pet or regional form of Anastasia. Anastasia derives from Greek Anastasía, from anástasis “resurrection,” long favored in the Christian East due to St. Anastasia of Sirmium and associations with Easter themes. Through Russian and Belarusian transmission (Nastasya, Nastassia, Nastassja), the name entered Western awareness and gained sporadic use in English-speaking countries.

Nastashia likely arose in the late 20th century as a phonetic spelling shaped by English -shia endings, sitting alongside spellings such as Nastasia, Natasia, Nastassia, Nastassja, and Nastasja; common diminutives include Nastya and Stasia. While sometimes mistaken for Natashia/Natasha, those forms come from Natalia and mean “birthday/Christmas,” whereas Nastashia retains the “resurrection” sense. Usage remains rare but recognizable, aided by cultural references to variants like Dostoevsky’s Nastasya Filippovna and actress Nastassja Kinski.
