The full name of Stas is Stanislav. This Polish nickname, however, is of Slavic origin. It was formed by the merger of two words: "camp" - to become and "glory" - glory, glorious. Hence there are several variations of the translation: "establishing glory", "becoming glorious." This name was ubiquitous in Poland, but over time it became fashionable in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.
Since the full name of Stas is Stanislav, the female form of this nickname was originally formed by joining the masculine full name of the end of the female gender. The result is Stanislav!
Is Stasya Nastya? But why?
In general, the name Stas is a derivative diminutive of the male Stas. This is usually called in the family of a little boy. Along with Stasia, a child can be called Stasik or Stasyushka … Today you can often hear from a teenage girl or young woman that her name is Stasya … However, she is not Stanislav at all! She is the most ordinary … Nastya (Anastasia)! What happened? Where did the kinship between these names come from?
The fact is that the full name of Stas does not always sound as indicated earlier. Often, he remains Stas on the passport (this will be discussed later). In this case, we can talk about the adjacency of the two names. It is interesting that the third name is also implicated here - Anastas! Look here: Anastasia is a female form from Anastas (everyone remembers the politician Anastas Ivanovich Mikoyan). However, this name has long been outdated and simplified to Stas. It turns out that both of these nicknames have one root - "stas", only in the first case it is supplemented by other morphemes, turning into Anastasia, and in the second it becomes an independent name (Stas). The full name is masculine is not similar to the same feminine. But then their abbreviated forms are considered related to each other. The fact is that on the basis of the two main letters of the root "stas" - "c" and "t" there is a kind of play on words: Anastasia = Stas. This fact was put into new fashion trends in names, namely, in simplification of the name Nastya to Stas.
Some sources claim that this "upgrade" was due to the Russian singer Anastasia Zadorozhnaya. It was she who was one of the first to take on her stage name "Stasya". And then, as they say, let's go … Today, every second girl named Nastya prefers to respond to Stasya … That's such an "arithmetic", friends!
Is Stanislav Stas or Glory?
This problem can be viewed in two ways. The fact is that this is a paradox. Look here: in the independent short name Slav, in most cases one or another full form is observed: Vyacheslav, Yaroslav, Svyatoslav, Rostislav, Borislav, Mstislav, Dobroslav, Vladislav and even … Stanislav!
But this does not mean at all that all of the above forms of names will necessarily be reduced to Glory!
Where did this contradiction come from? Everything is relative here, friends. From the point of view of the laws of origin and combination of names, each separately taken above-mentioned full form has its own abbreviation, for example, Yaroslav is Yarik, and Svyatoslav is Svyatik, Vladislav is Vlad, and Rostislav is Rostik. Another thing is when the parents of the baby, without heeding any rules and principles, from the very beginning can agree and agree on a short form of his name - Glory. In this case, they enter, for example, Vladislav in the birth certificate, while they abbreviate it as Glory. The same is with Stanislav … Subsequently, it is this “unspoken” short form that becomes dominant.
By the way, the full name of Stas for the same reason can coincide with the short one: the happy father goes to the registry office and writes Stas, and not Stanislav, into the documents. When a child reaches the age of 14, he receives a passport in the name of, say, Stas Sergeyevich, and not Stanislav Sergeyevich. And one more thing: along with the Stasias, the name Slava is gaining popularity in the female variation of the same name! Remember the singer Glory?
