What is the meaning of the name Constantine ?

The baby name Constantine is a boy name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced KON-stən-tyne.

Constantine is Latin in Origin.

Constantine is the English continuation of Latin Cōnstantīnus, a Roman cognomen and later given name. The form belongs to the family of Cōnstans and Cōnstantius, built on Latin constāre, to stand firm, from con- together and stāre to stand. The suffix -īnus often marked affiliation or derivation, so Cōnstantīnus signified one belonging to Constans or, more broadly, steadfast.

Its prestige was fixed by Constantine the Great, the fourth-century emperor associated with the Edict of Milan and the Christianization of imperial rule, and by later Byzantine emperors. Greek Kōnstantînos became central in Orthodox naming, with short forms Kostas, Kostis, and Dinos; Slavic Konstantin, Romanian Constantin, Albanian Kostandin, and Dutch Constantijn reflect regional adaptation. In English it has remained comparatively rare, more historical than everyday.
