The Story of Anastasi
Anastasi is the short form of Anastasia, derived from the Greek word anastasis (ανάσταση), meaning resurrection or she who will rise again. The name was highly revered in early Christianity as it evokes the resurrection of Christ. It spread throughout the Byzantine Empire and became extremely popular in Russia and Eastern Europe, where it was borne by saints, tsarinas, and noblewomen across the centuries.
The full form Anastasia has seen renewed global interest since the 1997 animated film and the 2017 Broadway musical. The shortened form Anastasi is rare, used by families who want a more distinctive variant of the familiar Anastasia.
