Nastasiya is Slavic in Origin.

Nastasiya is a Slavic variant and contracted form of Anastasiya/Anastasia, ultimately from Greek Anastasía, the feminine of Anastasios, derived from anastasis meaning “resurrection” or “rebirth.” The shortened shape arose through everyday Eastern Slavic usage that drops the initial “Ana-,” while the full form remains in formal contexts.

Used chiefly in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and parts of Central Asia, its spelling reflects transliteration choices: Nastasiya, Nastasya, or Nastasia. Related regional forms include Belarusian Nastassia and South Slavic Nastasija. Common diminutives are Nastya, Nastenka, Nastia, and Stasia. The name’s esteem traces to early Christian martyrs - especially 4th-century Saint Anastasia of Sirmium - and it flourished in Orthodox tradition and imperial Russia, later resonating in literature through characters such as Dostoevsky’s Nastasya Filippovna. Variants and cognates include Anastasia/Anastasiya, Nastassia, Nastasija, Nastasia, and Nastasya; masculine counterparts are Anastas and Anastasius. Meaning: “resurrection; rebirth.”
