Tassia

Tassia is a diminutive form of the Greek name Anastasios or Anastasia. The name Anastasia, from which Tassia is derived, means 'resurrection' in Greek. It was a popular name among early Christians, particularly in the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire, due to its strong religious connotations. Saint Anastasia was a 4th-century Roman martyr, which further cemented the name's popularity.

Over centuries, various short forms and diminutives emerged from Anastasia across different cultures. Tassia is one such affectionate short form, primarily used in Greek-speaking regions. While Anastasia has a long and rich history, Tassia itself is a more modern and informal variant, often used within families.
