Anastasia is the feminine of Anastasius, from Greek anastasis, 'resurrection'. Wiktionary and DMNES note that early Christians gave it to children born around Easter. Several early saints bore it, among them 4th-century martyrs, and DMNES also lists a Byzantine empress and a 16th-century Russian tsaritsa. Wikipedia notes it is especially popular in Eastern Europe, where Nastya is a common pet form.
