Constance is Latin in Origin.
Constance derives from Latin Constantia, meaning “steadfastness, constancy,” the feminine form of Constantius/Constantinus. Adopted by early Christians for its moral ideal, it traveled into French and then English via the Normans. The name was borne by medieval nobles such as Constance of Sicily and Constance of Castile, and Shakespeare’s Queen Constance in King John kept it familiar in English literature. Puritans further boosted it as a virtue name, and it enjoyed renewed favor in the late 19th and early 20th centuries; in France it remains a quiet classic.
International variants include Constantia (Latin), Constança (Portuguese), Constanza (Spanish), Costanza (Italian), Constanze (German), Konstancja (Polish), and Konstancia (Hungarian); English and French retain Constance. Diminutives and short forms include Connie, Conni/Conny, and Stanzi (German for Constanze). The name conveys reliability, faithfulness, and calm strength.
