Meaning & origin
Nastasia is a variant of the classic name Anastasia, with its peak popularity in the United States occurring in 1987. Although it has not ranked in the top 1000 for many years, it has seen consistent usage since first recorded in 1918. The name has shown a falling trajectory since its peak year of 1987. Its top states are not recorded in the data, indicating it has been used across the country. Nastasia is a distinctive choice for parents seeking a name with Slavic elegance and religious significance. The name's association with resurrection gives it a powerful meaning, and it remains a familiar alternative to the longer Anastasia.
Nastasia is a short form of Anastasia, which comes from the Greek name Anastasios (masculine) or Anastasia (feminine), meaning 'resurrection.' It has been used in Russia and France as an independent name, often spelled Nastassia or Nastasya. The name Anastasia was borne by several early Christian saints, including Saint Anastasia of Sirmium, which helped spread its use throughout Orthodox and Catholic Europe.
