Anastasia, Anastassia, Nastassia and various spellings originated in Greece/ Russia. The original pronunciations are with an ending of stah-see-ah except in Poland and Croatia where a single S is pronounced like an sh. The English pronunciation is stay-see-ah or stay-sha. It seems English speakers want to pronounce it how they want and get pissed at people pronouncing it the way the name's countries of origin pronounces them. Really nobody is wrong so give it a rest. My name is Stassia and it is pronounced Stah-see-ah and the nickname is Stassi pronounced stah-see. My parents are Italian Greek turkish.

My name is Stasia and I love the name, the best way to explain how I pronounce my name to people who are unfamiliar with it is "think of stay shut, and drop the t off the end." Stay-SHə.

I imagined that the name was pronounced as stah-cee-uh, rather than stay-see-uh or stay-shuh.

I would imagine that one of the most common pronunciations of the name would simply be STAY-zhə, like the end of the full Anastasia - It is how I would want to pronounce it.
