Meaning & Origin
Anastassia is a girl's baby name of Greek origin, an alternate spelling of Anastasia, from the Greek anastasis, meaning 'resurrection' or 'she who will rise again' — one of the most theologically profound feminine names in the Eastern Orthodox tradition.
With over 355 recorded births, Anastassia is a variant spelling that adds an extra -s- for a distinctive written form. The name is associated with Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna (1901–1918), the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II, whose fate during the Russian Revolution — and the legends of her possible survival — made her one of the most romantic and haunting figures in 20th-century history. A name of resurrection hope and imperial Russian mystique.
