Nastassja is Slavic in Origin.

Nastassja is a German-influenced transliteration of the Russian name Nastasya, a vernacular form of Anastasia. Ultimately from Greek Anastasia, it traces to anastasis "resurrection," a meaning that helped the name spread with early Christianity throughout the Byzantine and Slavic worlds. In East Slavic speech, the cluster -sja reflects the palatalized -sya ending, which the spelling -ssja captures.

The form gained Western visibility through German actress Nastassja Kinski, prompting sporadic use outside Eastern Europe in the late 20th century. Variant spellings include Nastassia (Belarusian), Nastasja (Polish/Serbo-Croatian), Nastasya/Nastasia, and the formal base name Anastasia; cognates appear as Anastasija (South/East Slavic), Anastasiya (Russian), and Anastasiia (Ukrainian). Diminutives and short forms include Nastya, Stasya, Tasya, and Asya. Usage remains most common in Russia, Belarus, and neighboring countries, while in English-speaking contexts it reads as a distinctive, artistic twist on classic Anastasia.
