Costanzo is Italian in Origin.

Costanzo is the Italian masculine given name ultimately from the Latin cognomen Constantius, built on constans, meaning “steadfast, firm, faithful.” The name conveys reliability and perseverance, and in Italy it also survives as a surname.

In use since late antiquity, Costanzo gained prestige through early bishops and martyrs venerated as San Costanzo, notably the patron saint of Perugia and the bishop associated with Capri. It saw steady visibility in Renaissance courts and chapels via figures such as the lord Costanzo I Sforza and composers Costanzo Festa and Costanzo Porta, and later with statesman Costanzo Ciano. Today the name is uncommon but familiar, especially in central and southern Italy. Key variants and cognates include the feminine Costanza, the related Italian Costantino, Spanish Constancio, Portuguese Constâncio, French Constant, Romanian/Slavic Constantin, and English Constantine, all reflecting the shared theme of constancy.
