Conny is Dutch, Germanic, Latin in Origin.

Conny is a unisex diminutive used in Germanic and Nordic languages, and occasionally in English, for several forenames. It most commonly shortens Constance/Constanze (from Latin Constantia, ‘steadfast, constant’) and Conrad/Konrad (Old High German kuoni ‘bold’ + rad ‘counsel,’ yielding ‘brave counsel’). In some families it can also abbreviate Cornelia (a Roman gens name likely linked to cornu, ‘horn’). Because its sense depends on the source name, Conny can carry meanings from steadfastness to wise or courageous advice.

Adopted as an everyday nickname that sometimes stood alone, Conny became particularly visible in mid-20th-century Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands; the spelling Connie predominated in English-speaking countries. Notable bearers include German producer Conny Plank and Swedish musician Conny Bloom, reinforcing male usage in Europe.
