Meaning & origin

Annastacia is a modern feminine name coined by blending Anna and Anastasia. It first entered U.S. birth records in 1971, a time when compound and elaborated names were gaining popularity. The name reached its peak usage in 1996, when it was given to roughly 20 baby girls per million. Since then, its use has fallen steadily; by 2025, it was recorded fewer than 5 times nationwide. The name has no strong geographic concentration, appearing in a handful of states each year. Annastacia's appeal lies in its melodic, multi-syllable sound and its link to two well-established names. Though rare, it fits a pattern of creative name formation that echoes longer, ornate names like Anastasia while keeping a familiar core.

Annastacia is a 20th-century coinage, combining Anna (from Hebrew Hannah, meaning 'favor' or 'grace') with Anastasia (from Greek Anastasios, meaning 'resurrection'). The name first appeared in U.S. records in 1971 and saw increased use through the 1990s, peaking in 1996. It reflects a trend of blending traditional names to create novel feminine forms.
