Meaning and history
Anastasios is a Greek masculine name derived from anastasis, meaning “resurrection.” It was especially appropriate in early Christianity because of the central doctrine of Christ’s resurrection and was borne by saints, patriarchs, and Byzantine emperors. The feminine form is Anastasia, while Tasos is a familiar Greek short form. Notable bearers include Archbishop Anastasios of Albania, a prominent Orthodox church leader, and Greek-Swedish actor Anastasios Soulis.
