The name is of Greek origin, coming from the Greek word anastasis (Ancient Greek: á¼Î½Î¬ÏÏÎ±ÏÎ¹Ï), meaning resurrection. It is a popular name in Eastern Europe, particularly in Russia, where it was the most used name for decades until 2008, when its place was taken by Sophia.
Nebraska State Flower The Goldenrod (Soldiago gigantea) was declared the Nebraska State flower in 1895. Solidago gigantea Aiton and Solidago serotina Aiton are the synonyms, and which are commonly called as Goldenrod. Goldenrod is considered native to the United States of America.
Of course, the name caught on and became a Nebraska byword, eventually becoming the official nickname for the state. There is no official symbol of a Cornhusker and various cartoonists have caricatured the mystical something that typifies Nebraska football - some winning fan approval and others arousing fan ire. The cartoon character, Herbie Husker, evolved out of Nebraska's trip to the 1974 Cotton Bowl in Dallas.
