History & Etymology
Anastazio is a masculine name derived from the Greek name Anastasios (Αναστάσιος), which means 'resurrection'. The name has strong Christian connotations, referring to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It became popular in the Byzantine Empire and was often given to children born around Easter or on the feast day of a saint named Anastasios.
While the feminine form Anastasia is more widely known and used in many parts of the world, Anastasios and its variants like Anastazio have a long history of use for males, particularly in Eastern Orthodox Christian cultures. The 'o' ending is a common masculine suffix in many Romance languages, suggesting a possible Latin or Italian influence on this specific variant.
