Relating to or characteristic of resurrection or rising again; also can refer to matters connected with Anastasius (historical religious figures).
From Anastasia or Anastasius (Greek name meaning 'resurrection') + -ian (adjective suffix). The term evolved to describe both the concept of resurrection and its association with the saint.
Saint Anastasius's name literally means 'resurrection,' and in medieval times, parents naming their children Anastasius were essentially naming them as symbols of hope and eternal life!
