- Anasia — A rare feminine given name, used as a short onomastic variant or hypocoristic phonetic derivative of Anastasia, found within the Eastern Orthodox and Balkan regions. The name symbolically retains its Ancient Greek etymological root 'anastasis', meaning 'resurrection'. In the modern naming index, it functions as an independent, melodious name, appreciated for its structural simplicity compared to the long classical form.
- Anastasa — An archaic or regional anthroponymic variant of the masculine given name Anastasie or Năstase, historically encountered in certain rural communities and old administrative documents within the Romanian space. The name symbolically retains its Ancient Greek etymological root 'anastasis', meaning 'resurrection', and was locally adapted in popular speech through structural simplification and the elimination of long Hellenistic endings to fit native phonetic patterns.
