Name's roots in Greek

Years ago, I was searching for what my name means (try it, it has fun)...

Tas(s)os is a common male name deriving from the name Anastasios. The most common version of the name is written with one –s (Tasos) and it comes from Anastasios the Persian, and from the Greek word Anastasi which means Resurrection, thus it is celebrated on Easter day.

Sound of Name Tasos: Ta’s-sos

Female Version of name Tasos: Anastasia, Natasa, or Tassia (not that common in this version)

Nameday of Tasos: January 22nd or Easter day

Anastasios the Persian (an Orthodox Saint): Anastasios the Persian lived in the 7th century during the reign of Emperor Heraklios. He was Persian, and his original name was Magoundat, son of a man that belonged to the Magi cast and he was well educated, inclined to philosophical and religious issues. When the King of Persians Hosroi invaded Jerusalem in 614AD and sent the Holy Cross to Persia, the educated Persians were interested in this bizarre religion. Among them was Magoundat, who went to Jerusalem and was baptized Christian, with the name Anastasios. He, then, went to Caesarea where he preached the word of God. He was betrayed by some of his fellow patriots and he was brought to Persia where the monarch tried to convince him to adopt the Persian religion. When he refused, Anastasios was capsized. The Greek Orthodox Church celebrates his memory on January 22nd.
