Costah is in Origin.

Costah is a modern, stylistic respelling of Costa, a pan-Mediterranean name. In Greek and South Slavic contexts it abbreviates Konstantinos/Konstantin (from Latin Constantinus), ultimately from the adjective meaning “steadfast, constant.” In Romance languages Costa also arose independently as a toponymic and occupational surname from Latin costa, “rib, side,” hence “slope/coast.” The spelling with final h likely reflects Anglophone attempts to differentiate the sound or create a unique form, so the name carries both the virtue sense “constant” and coastal imagery.

Historically Costa/Kosta/Kostas has been common in Greece, Cyprus, and the Balkans, while in Italy, Spain, and Portugal it appears as a short form of Constantino and as the widespread surname Costa. Romanian relatives include Costea and Costel. Rarer Costah fits contemporary naming aesthetics. Related variants: Constantine, Konstantinos, Konstantin, Constantino, Costas, Kostas, Kosta; feminine Konstantina/Constantina/Constance. Nicknames: Costa, Dinos/Dino, Tino.
