Anstace Origin and Meaning

The name Anstace is a boy's name.

Anstace is a masculine name with medieval English origins, derived from the Greek name Anastasius, meaning 'resurrection' or 'rebirth.' This ancient name was used in England after the Norman Conquest but gradually became rare by the Renaissance. Anstace carries an aristocratic, old-world charm with its distinctive sound and historical connections. Despite its masculine classification here, Anstace has historically been used for both genders at different periods. The name's scholarly associations and uncommon nature give it a distinguished quality. Very rarely used in modern times, Anstace would be an exceptionally distinctive choice for contemporary parents drawn to genuinely historical names with substantive meaning rather than recently invented appellations.
