Those comments that claim 'Athanasia is like euthanasia' don't actually make sense- 'a' is a negative prefix, makes 'Athanasia' actually an antonym to what euthanasia is.

Athanasia in Greek is the feminine form of Athanasios meaning the one who doesn't die. It's synonym to immortality. My name is Athanasia too.

Greeks pronounce this name a-thana-SIA, with the stress on the last syllable. Most women with this name are called Sia for short.
In English the word Athanasia, a synonym for immortality, is pronounced atha-nasia, sounding like euthanasia.
So the name and the word are really pronounced differently, but I suppose people unfamiliar with the name would pronounce it like euthanasia.
