Anastasia ( Greek Αναστασία ) is the female form of the Greek name Anastasius/Anastasios (Koine Greek: Αναστασία) meaning resurrection ^[2]. The name, and its male counterpart, were often given to Greek children born around December 2 or around Easter during the early days of Christianity. It is the name of several early saints. Anastasia of Sirmium, a second century Christian saint martyred at Sirmium, is commemorated during the second Mass on Christmas Day each year by the Roman Catholic Church and is the patron saint of weavers.^[3] The best known Anastasia is the Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna, youngest daughter of the last Tsar of Imperial Russia. Legends about her have been the subject of numerous books and films.
