Konstancija is Latin, Slavic in Origin.
Konstancija is the Lithuanian and sometimes Latvian form of Latin Constantia, from constans “steadfast, firm,” hence “constancy, faithfulness.” The K-initial reflects Baltic/Slavic orthography and parallels forms across Europe: English Constance, Spanish/Portuguese Constancia, Italian Costanza, German Constanze/Konstanze, Polish Konstancja, Ukrainian/Russian Konstantsiya (Констанція/Констанция). Related male name in Lithuanian is Konstantinas.
The name traveled through Christian Europe as a virtue name and through the cult of saints and noblewomen, appearing widely from the Middle Ages onward. In the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth it was well established via Polish Konstancja, borne by aristocrats such as Konstancja Czartoryska (1700–1759). In Lithuania, Konstancija appears in parish records from the 18th–19th centuries and saw periodic revivals in the 20th century alongside other traditional Christian names. Today it reads classic and dignified while remaining distinctive in the Baltic languages.
Konstancija is exceptionally rare. There are only 7 recorded uses on record, spread over 2 countries.
