Anastazja

Meaning of Anastazja

Anastazja is the Polish form of the venerable Greek name Anastasia, derived from anastasis, meaning “resurrection.” Traditionally linked to the season of renewal in Eastern Orthodox observance, it conveys a sense of hope and restoration. Its three-syllable pattern—pronounced ah-nah-STAH-zhah (/aˈnaʃtaːʒa/)—demonstrates the measured phonetic elegance characteristic of Slavic names while remaining accessible to English speakers. In the United States, where it has hovered in the mid-900s of popularity rankings with fewer than two dozen newborns per year, Anastazja appeals to parents in search of a name both classic and uncommon. Its rarity guarantees it will seldom be called twice on a classroom attendance list.
