Nastasia is a girl’s name of Russian origin and a variant of all-classic Anastasia. The name Nastasia originates from the word anastasis, which translates to “resurrection” in Greek.

So if you’re looking for a name that'll nod to your little one's faith, sweet and saintly Nastasia might do the trick.
