新晨
Xīn Chén
A meaning-based suggestion for Anastasia: 新: new, fresh; 晨: morning.
Why these characters?
新晨 creates a new-morning image. It can suggest a fresh beginning, but it is not the religious term for resurrection and should not replace that term in theological writing.

安熙
Ān Xī
A sound-and-meaning adaptation for Anastasia: 安: peace, safety; 熙: bright, prosperous.
Why these characters?
安熙 keeps the opening an and a later s-like cue through xi. Peace and brightness form a new wish, while several syllables of Anastasia are omitted. It is a compact adaptation, not a full transcription.

Resurrection and a fresh start are related images, not synonyms
The name family’s Greek explanation gives resurrection. That carries a more specific sense than starting a new project, entering a new school, or watching a sunrise. 新晨 uses a fresh morning as a personal image while leaving the historical meaning intact. It should not be described as an exact translation of the religious concept.
Anastasia’s use in several languages also means that the same Latin spelling can carry different family traditions. A modern bearer may choose the name for sound or ancestry rather than belief. The Chinese suggestions do not infer that person’s religion from the name, and the shorter options need not imitate a saint’s established Chinese name.
A long transcription and a daily name serve different purposes
安娜斯塔西娅 keeps more of the full syllable sequence than either two-character suggestion. The familiar English ending may be compressed differently, while other language readings articulate more vowels. Confirm the bearer’s own reading before making a permanent design; a written sequence that looks complete can still be a poor sound match for one individual.
安熙 provides a practical shorter introduction when a compact Chinese personal name is wanted. Its meaning story is peace and brightness, not resurrection. New readers will not necessarily reconstruct Anastasia from two syllables, so show both names on material where identification matters. The long transcription also deserves extra horizontal room in calligraphy rather than being squeezed into the dimensions of a two-character name.
