Stasia

/STAH · shah/


“Possibly resurrection or glory”

Polish diminutive of either Stanisława, from Slavic elements meaning 'to stand, become' and 'glory' (together read as 'to become glorious'), or of Anastazja (Anastasia), from Greek ana ('up, again') and stasis ('standing'), together read as 'resurrection'. Which root a given Stasia comes from is not distinguishable from the short form alone.
