Nastashia

Nastashia is a feminine name representing a variant spelling of Natasha, which itself is a diminutive form of the Russian name Natalia, derived from the Latin "natalis" meaning "birthday" or "birth" (originally referring to Christ's birth). This alternative spelling adds a distinctive visual element while maintaining the familiar pronunciation. Nastashia gained limited popularity in the United States during the 1970s-1990s when Russian-influenced names saw increased interest. The name carries an exotic, international flair with its Eastern European origins. While less common than Natasha, Nastashia offers parents a slightly more distinctive option with the same melodic quality and rich cultural associations with Russian heritage and literature.

Pronounced nuh-STAH-shuh.

As of October 2026, Nastashia ranked #9281 in US births in 1993 SSA, peaked at #4995 in 1988.
