Meaning & origin
Anastasha is a rare variant spelling of the classic Anastasia, first recorded in U.S. data in 1983. Its peak usage came in 1987, and since then it has maintained a stable but very low frequency, never approaching the popularity of the parent name Anastasia. The name derives from the Greek word for resurrection and carries strong Eastern Orthodox associations. Parents choosing Anastasha often favor the familiar sound of Anastasia with a distinctive visual twist. The name has not been recorded in any top states, reflecting its niche appeal.
Anastasha is a variant of Anastasia, the feminine form of the Greek name Anastasios, derived from "anastasis" meaning "resurrection." The name has strong roots in Eastern Orthodox Christianity, where it was borne by several saints. In English-speaking countries, the spelling Anastasha emerged in the late 20th century as a creative respelling of Anastasia.
