Anastasía

Anastasía is a feminine given name, a variant spelling of Anastasia used in Greek-speaking communities and in some other languages. The form derives from the Greek masculine name Anastasios and the feminine Anastasia, both meaning “resurrection” or “rising again.” In Greek, Αναστασία is used, and the diacritic variant Anastasía is sometimes employed in transliteration to indicate emphasis or in languages that mark accents.

Usage and cultural context: The name has a long-standing presence in Orthodox Christian communities, where saints named Anastasia are venerated, and it remains common in Greece and Cyprus. Through literature, film, and media, variants of the name have spread to many regions. In English-speaking and several Western contexts, the unaccented Anastasia is more prevalent, while Anastasía appears in contexts influenced by Greek or localized spelling conventions.

Variants and related names: Variants include Anastasia, Anastasija (Slavic forms), and Anastasía in certain language spellings. The related masculine form is Anastasios (Greek). The name is often associated with themes of renewal and faith due to its meaning.

Notable people: The name is borne by many individuals across cultures; however, the exact spelling Anastasía is less commonly documented in global biographical references than the more widely used Anastasia.
