[Facts] Asya as a diminutive for Anna
I saw recently that, as the title says, this name is also a diminutive for Anna. Is this true?

Yes.In Russian, Asya (Ася) can be used as a diminutive of Aleksandra, Anna, Anastasiya, Kseniya, Taisiya, etc.

I've personally never seen Asya used as a diminutive for Anna, but I suppose some cultures and languages could use it and it works for them.
