Anastasia, as well as being a girl's first name, can also be used as a surname. My last name was originally Anastasi when my great-grandparents immigrated from Sicily to America via Ellis Island. Later my grandfather chose to Americanize it by adding the "A" at the end of it. There are a number of Anastasia's on the East Coast. Perhaps one the most notorious of these was the infamous Albert Anastasia, no relation to me, who worked in the Mafia as head of Murder Incorporated and was assassinated by a rival gang member while he was in a barbershop chair in 1957.
I always felt my name held special spiritual significance to me as a Truth seeker throughout my life. I had desired to reach Salvation or enlightenment. It's meaning as the "Resurrection and New Life" signified spiritual attainment of some sort. The name, Anastasia, has thus always been symbolic for me of Salvation through the Victory of Jesus Christ over sin, disease and death through His Glorious Resurrection and Eternal Life.
