Your name, in all probability, is just a variant spelling of Anastasia, meaning "resurrection" in Greek. It's a feminine form of Anastasius.

However, your parents may have wanted to blend Anastasia with Anna. Anna is the Latinate form of Hannah, which in turn is from the Hebrew name Channah, meaning "favour" or "grace".
