Nasya is in Origin.

Nasya is a feminine given name with two well-recognized roots. In Hebrew, it corresponds to Nesya/Nessya, built from nes (“miracle”) and the theophoric element -yah (“of God”), yielding the meaning “miracle of God” or “Yahweh is my miracle.” The name gained currency in modern Hebrew naming of the late 20th century, especially in Israel, and appears with spellings Nesya, Nessya, and Nesyah; shorter forms like Nesi or Nessa sometimes occur.

In Slavic usage, Nasya can be a transcriptional variant of Nastya, the familiar Russian and East Slavic diminutive of Anastasia, ultimately from Greek anastasis, “resurrection.” Through centuries of Orthodox veneration of St. Anastasia, the pet form Nastya - occasionally rendered Nasya in Latin letters - has been widespread. Related variants include Nastia, Nastja, and Anastasiya. Depending on origin, Nasya thus carries either the Hebrew sense of divine miracle or the Anastasia-derived theme of rebirth.
