Constanta is the Romanian feminine form of Latin Constantia, meaning “steadfast, constant,” from the participle constans “standing firm.” In Romania it is properly written Constanța; the unaccented Constanta reflects a simplified transcription and echoes the Black Sea port of the same name, whose late antique name Constantiana honored the Constantinian imperial family. The given name appears in Romanian records from early modern times, supported by Orthodox reverence for Saint Constantina (also known as Constance), traditionally linked to Constantine the Great.

Across Europe the name spread via Christian and noble usage. Related and variant forms include Constanța (Ro.), Constantia/Constantina (Lat.), Constance (Eng./Fr.), Costanza (It.), Constanza (Sp.), Constança/Constança (Pt./Ca.), Konstanze (De.), Konstancja (Pl.), Konstancie (Cz.), and Констанция - Konstantsiya (Ru.); Greek Konstantina is a close cognate. The masculine counterparts are Constantin/Constantine. Today, Constanta is rare but resonant, conveying steadfastness, reliability, and quiet strength.
