Tassos Origin and Meaning

The name Tassos is a girl's name.

Tassos, though listed as feminine, is traditionally a masculine Greek name. It's commonly a diminutive form of Anastasios, which derives from the Greek word 'anastasis' meaning 'resurrection.' In Greek culture, Tassos carries connotations of rebirth and renewal. The name has historical significance in Greece but remains relatively uncommon in other parts of the world. Notable bearers include several Greek artists, politicians, and athletes. With its strong Mediterranean roots and distinctive sound, Tassos has a certain cultural gravitas while remaining accessible to non-Greek speakers. Its compact form gives it a modern appeal despite its ancient origins.
