Nikolaevna was Anastasia's patronymic name, meaning it derives from the name of her father and is the same for all of his offspring - the girls take the !.!.!.evna ending and the boys the !.!.!.evich ending!. Most Russians have a patronymic name, Lenin's was Ilych, Putin's is Vladimirovich meaning Lenin's father's name was Ilya, and Putin's was Vladimir!.
In Russia the polite form of someones name is first name then patronymic not surname, so for Anastasia the polite form of her name is Anastasia Nicholaevna!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'm totally just guessing, but I would venture to say that Kristana is a feminine version of something to do with Christian -- maybe a follower of Christ, and Nikolaevna could have something to do with Nicholas!.

Do you have a Russian background!? Or maybe Eastern European!? You might want to check there!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Very similar to Kristina, witch is feminine for Christopher, meaning Christ Like!. Probably a russian derivative!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
