Anastasia

Anastasia signifies the Christian idea of resurrection.

Means resurrection- she who will rise again.

My name is Anastasia, it's a Greek name and means "Anastasi" (resurrection) and it goes like this: A-na-sta-si-a. As you see it and very clearly. Of course, because we have the same religion with most Russians, there are lots of Anastasias. I m wondering how it's possible someone thinks that it's anesthesia. Note also that in Greece we take the names of our father's parents mostly, my grandmother was Anastasia as well but it's a rare name even here in Greece.

It comes from the Greek word "anastasi" (gr. "ανάσταση"), meaning "resurrection".

Twin-sisters Izbitskye who said their grandma was duke Anastasia used DNA-testing ("Family tree DNA") to prove relativity to Romanovs family. Womens DNA-results consists many same to Nicolas II DNA-markers. Both autosomnal and mitochondrial DNA are similar to autosomnal and mitochondrial DNA of the Romanovs family.

Literal meaning, "resurrected woman".

This is the italian form of the name too.

This name derives from the Greek word: ΑΝΑΣΤΑΣΙΣ=resurraction, rising. Referring to Jesus Christ.

Yes, this name is also pure Russian. It is spelt Anastasiya in Russia, but this name is Russian, no matter how it is spelt. Also, a common pet name for Anastasia is Anya.

This name is Greek, it's a bit of a stretch to say it's purely Russian (it's not); though it is very popular in Russia. That doesn't make it a purely Russian name any more than the common English usage of Hannah makes the name purely English. Also, Anya is not a nickname for Anastasia (assuming we're still talking about Russian usage), but rather Anna. Nastya would be the most common nickname of Anastasia.

I studied Koine Greek in college, and did the etymology of my first name. Ana is a preposition which means 'back up' or 'up again', and stasis is the future form of the verb histemi, which means 'to stand' or 'to rise'. So the literal meaning of the name is 's/he who shall rise up again.' It was apparently given to children born around Easter during the early years of Christianity. I pronounce it ah-nah-stah-SI-Ah, which is the pronunciation used in Holland and Russia.

The name Anastasia means "she will rise again".

The most commonly celebrated Name Day for Greeks with the name Anastasios and Anastasia is Greek Easter, as the name means "resurrection." This is a moveable feast day, falling on a different Sunday each year.

The name Anastasia can also mean rebirth or resurrection.
