Constancia is Latin in Origin.

Constancia is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Latin Constantia, feminine of Constantius, ultimately from constans, constant- “steadfast, firm.” As a virtue name it denotes “constancy, steadfastness, reliability,” with moral overtones of faithfulness and perseverance.

Documented in medieval Iberia and later throughout the Spanish-speaking world, Constancia appeared in baptismal records as both a given name and a virtue-inspired choice, though it remained less common than the related Constance (French/English) and Constanza (Spanish/Italian). It saw periodic use in colonial Latin America and occasional modern revivals among Catholic families. International variants include Constantia (Latin), Constantina (Late Latin/Greek), Constança and Constância (Portuguese), Constance (English/French), Constanza (Spanish/Italian), Konstancja (Polish), and Konstantia (Greek/Slavic). Cognates yield nicknames such as Connie (English) and, in Spanish, Tanza for Constanza; for Constancia, diminutives like Coni/Cony may appear informally.
