Costino is Italian in Origin.

Costino is an Italian diminutive formed with -ino, most often a pet form of Costantino or, regionally, Costanzo. These trace to Latin Constantinus/Constantius, from constans, constantis meaning “steadfast, faithful, constant.” As a given name, Costino carries the same core sense of reliability and firmness of purpose, softened by the affectionate tone of the diminutive.

Usage is rare today but documented in southern Italian and Sardinian parish records as a familiar call-name that occasionally stood alone. The broader name family is anchored by the imperial and Christian legacy of Constantine the Great and multiple saints, which sustained its popularity across Europe. Related forms include Italian Costantino, Costanzo, and Costante; English Constantine; French/Greek/Romanian Constantin/Constantin(e); Spanish and Portuguese Constantino; and Romanian Constantin. Diminutives and cognates include Tino, Costin, Costel, and Costinel. Feminine counterparts are Costanza, Constantina, and Constance.
