Constancio is Latin in Origin.

Constancio is the Spanish form of a name ultimately from Latin Constantius, a derivative of constans, “steadfast, constant,” conveying firmness and reliability. It entered Iberian use through Christian Latin and became established alongside the cognate Constantino (“Constantine”). The Portuguese equivalent is Constâncio.

The name appears in Iberian records from the medieval period and spread throughout Latin America and the Philippines with Spanish and Portuguese influence. Veneration of early bishops and martyrs named Constantius, as well as the prestige of emperors Constantius I and II in Christian historiography, helped sustain its use. Constancio saw modest popularity in the 19th and early 20th centuries but is uncommon today, giving it a distinguished, vintage aura. Related forms include Latin Constantius, Spanish/Italian feminine Constanza and English/French Constance, Italian Costanzo, Dutch Constantijn, Catalan Constantí, Romanian and Eastern European Constantin, and the simpler Constante (Spanish/Portuguese) and Constant (French/English).
