Natasia
Natasia Origin and Meaning
Natasia is a feminine name likely derived as a variant of Anastasia, a Greek name meaning 'resurrection.' This simplified form removes the initial 'A' while maintaining the melodic quality of the original. It may also be influenced by the Russian diminutive 'Nastasya' or the Ukrainian 'Nastasia.' Though less common than Anastasia or Natasha, Natasia offers a distinctive alternative with the same elegant sound and cultural richness. The name never reached significant popularity in the United States but appears occasionally in Slavic and Eastern European communities. Parents might choose Natasia for its exotic feel, pleasant phonetics, and connection to the more recognized Anastasia without being as widely used.
