Nastassya is a feminine name that has Slavic roots, particularly from the Belarusian Nastassia and the Russian Nastasya. A short version of the Greek moniker Anastasia, it translates to “resurrection.” It can be a popular choice for parents in the Christian faith and is typically given to babies born around Eastertime. While it’s a great way to connect baby to your faith, it can also symbolize regrowth, restoration, and rebirth. For a name that celebrates your little one as a fresh start and new addition to your family, Nastassya can make for a rejuvenating choice.
