Nastia Origin and Meaning

The name Nastia is a girl's name.

Nastia is a feminine name primarily used in Eastern European countries, particularly Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus. It functions as a familiar diminutive form of Anastasia, which derives from the Greek word 'anastasis' meaning 'resurrection.' The name carries a warm, affectionate quality in Slavic cultures and is often used as a nickname for girls named Anastasia. Nastia gained some international recognition through famous bearers like Russian Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin. The name has a melodic quality that travels well across language boundaries, making it increasingly adopted outside Slavic regions. While maintaining its connection to the more formal Anastasia, Nastia has a distinct charm and informality that stands on its own. It represents the perfect balance between cultural authenticity and accessible pronunciation for non-Slavic speakers.
