hmm, imho АНФИСА and АНФИЯ is diffirent names...

АНФИСА (древнегреческий) цветение, цветущая. (950 000 hits in google).

АНФИЯ Римская (ум . 120), христианская мученица, пострадавшая в Риме в гонение императора Адриана, мать священномученика Елевферия Иллирийского. (3 000 hits in google)

May be it will be something like Анфисочка...but I`m not sure, though.

Анфиска

It's very derogatory. Only a very close friend may be called like that. More distant Anfisas may take offence.

I think there is no 'real' diminutive for this name, so as Ася etc.
