Anastasia, also spelled Anastacia or Anastassia, is of Greek origin and means "resurrection" or "rebirth". It was the name given to the daughter of Emperor Constantine IX in the 11th century. In Russia, Anastasia has been a popular female name since the 17th century due to its association with Grand Princess Anastasia Romanova, daughter of Tsar Ivan III and grandmother of Tsar Ivan IV (the Terrible). The name gained further international recognition through the 1956 film "Anastasia", starring Ingrid Bergman. It is often associated with elegance and a certain regal charm. In recent years, it has also been popularized by celebrities such as singer Anastacia and actress Anaстасия Makarova.
"Annastassia was quite popular as a baby girl's name in 1994, with a total of five newborns bearing that name."
