Konja is in Origin.

Konja is a rare Slavic-style given name, pronounced KON-ya. In South and East Slavic usage it functions as a familiar pet form, most often of Konrad/Konrada or Konstantin/Konstantina. As such, its sense depends on the base name: from Germanic Konrad (kuoni “brave” + rad “counsel”), it carries the meaning “bold counsel”; from Latin-rooted Konstantin(a) (constans), it conveys “steadfast, constant.” The -ja ending is a common hypocoristic marker across the Balkans and Central/Eastern Europe.

Konja appears in informal address in Slavic-speaking regions influenced by both the medieval German Konrad tradition and the Christian cult of Saint Constantine. In the late 20th and early 21st centuries it has occasionally been adopted as an independent, unisex given name. Related forms and variants include Konrad, Kondrat, Konrád, Konrada; Konstantin, Konstantina; and the spelling Konya. Note that in some South Slavic languages konja is also a common noun form meaning “of the horse.”
