History & Origin

Tassie is a warm diminutive linked to Tacy and Anastasia. Anastasia derives from the Greek anastasis, 'resurrection,' long a favorite in Eastern Christianity, while the older English Tacy comes from Latin taceo, 'be silent.' Tassie blends into that family as a pet form set down as a given name.

It was never common, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its modest peak, with scattered use from the late nineteenth century onward.

Did you know? The -ie ending made cozy nicknames of many older names; Tassie draws on both Tacy and the grand Anastasia for its warm, informal sound.
