Nastia is in Origin.

Nastia is a Slavic diminutive of Anastasia, ultimately from Greek anastasis, meaning "resurrection" or "rising again." The pet form developed in East Slavic languages and has long been used in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus within Orthodox Christian naming traditions honoring St. Anastasia of Sirmium. Over time, Nastia moved beyond the nursery to common everyday address and, from the late 20th century, began to appear as an independent given name in many post-Soviet communities and abroad.

Spellings and close variants include Nastya (Russian transliteration), Nastia (Ukrainian/international), and Belarusian Nasta; affectionate forms such as Nastenka and Nastyusha are also heard. Related formal names are Anastasia and Anastasiia/Anastasiya, with other nicknames like Asya and Stasya. The name’s imperial and cultural resonance - most famously via the Romanov Grand Duchess Anastasia and modern figures like Olympic champion Nastia Liukin - sustains its popularity while preserving the core meaning of renewal and rebirth.
