Nastasha

Nastasha is a feminine name that represents a variation of the more common Natasha, which originated as a Russian diminutive of Natalia, meaning 'birthday' or 'birth of the Lord.' The slight spelling alteration with an 's' instead of a 't' gives the name a distinctive touch while maintaining its Slavic roots. Nastasha is considerably less common than Natasha, making it a unique choice for parents seeking something familiar yet different. The name has a melodic quality with its balanced syllables and soft ending. While not widely used in English-speaking countries, it carries the same exotic appeal as the more traditional spelling, with potential nicknames including Tasha, Stasha, or Nasta.

Pronounced nuh-STAH-shuh.

As of October 2026, Nastasha ranked #14576 in US births in 2012 SSA, peaked at #3073 in 1987.
