Dinca is Romanian in Origin.

Dincă (commonly written Dinca outside Romania) is a Romanian masculine given name and frequent surname. Linguistically it is a hypocoristic and patronymic formed from Dinu, the Romanian short form of Constantin; the ultimate source is Latin Constantinus, from constans, meaning “steadfast, constant.” Thus Dincă carries the sense of constancy and reliability.

The name appears in church registers and legal records from the 18th–19th centuries in Wallachia and Oltenia, and later settled as a hereditary family name; as a first name it is now uncommon but preserved in some regional traditions and as a middle name. Variants and related forms include Dincă/Dinca (orthographic), Dinu, Dinicu, and the formal Constantin; South Slavic cognates such as Dinko (m.) and Dinka (f.) reflect the same onomastic base in the Balkans. As a surname, Dincă is borne by people of any gender.
