Resurrection or one who will rise again
Antanasia is a rare variant of Anastasia, derived from the Greek word anastasis. It carries the profound meaning of resurrection or rising again, historically associated with the Easter season in Christian traditions. While significantly less common than its root name, it offers a unique rhythmic alternative for parents seeking a melodic, multi-syllabic choice.
