What is the meaning of the name Constant ?

The baby name Constant is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced UK: /ˈkɒn.stənt/; US: /ˈkɑːn.stənt/; respelling: KON-stuhnt.

Constant is Latin in Origin.

Constant is a masculine given name from Latin Constans, “steadfast, firm,” ultimately from constare, “to stand together/stand fast.” It spread through Church Latin and Old French into medieval naming, appearing in France and, more sparingly, in England; 17th-century English Nonconformists also favored it as a moral “virtue” name. Though less common than the related imperial name Constantine, Constant occurs across records of clerics, jurists, and artisans, and later as a French and Dutch given name as well as an English/French surname.

Variants and cognates include Constantine (English), Constantin (French/Romanian), Constantino (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), Konstantin (German/Slavic), and Catalan Constantí; Polish uses Konstanty. Short forms and nicknames range from Con and Connie to Costa and Tino; Romanian diminutives include Costel and Costin. Feminine counterparts are Constance, Constantia, Constanza, and Costanza. The name signals reliability, loyalty, and perseverance.
