Browse nicknames →The Story of Annastasia
Annastasia is a creative spelling of Anastasia, from the Greek 'anastasis' meaning 'resurrection' — literally 'one who will rise again'. The name was beloved in early Christianity and spread widely through the Orthodox Church. Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia, the youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II, gave the name legendary and tragic resonance in the 20th century. The double-n spelling gives this variant a slightly softer, more romantic appearance.
Anastasia surged in American popularity after the 1997 animated Fox film of the same name, which romanticized the story of the Russian princess. The variant spelling Annastasia adds a personal touch while maintaining the familiar sound and meaning.
The name carries deep significance in Eastern Orthodox Christianity as the name of Saint Anastasia of Sirmium, a 4th-century martyr celebrated on December 22. In Russia, Princess Anastasia Romanova's fate — and the century-long legend that she survived the 1918 execution — made the name synonymous with mystery and royalty.
