My surname is Di Stasio, it is a patronym from a short form of the personal name Anastasio and it was a baptismal name originally rendered from the Greek 'Anastasis' meaning resurrection.
The name has numerous variant spellings which include ANSTIS, ANSTEYS, ANASTAY, STASSI and ANASTACIO.
As the agricultural depression of southern Italy worsened towards the end of the 19th century, people began to escape to the New World. The exodus started in earnest in 1887 with Brazil and other parts of Latin America being the original destinations. By 1893, the economy had improved in the United States and people headed there from Italy in greater and greater numbers.A notable member of this name was Grand Duchess ANASTASIA Nikolaievna Romanov (l90l-?l9l8) youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II.
