Konstantinos is Greek in Origin.

Konstantinos is the Greek form of the Latin name Constantinus, derived from constans, meaning “steadfast” or “constant.” The name entered the Hellenic world through early Christian and imperial channels and became emblematic after Emperor Constantine the Great (Greek: Konstantinos o Megas), venerated as a saint in Eastern Christianity for ending persecutions and founding Constantinople.

Long favored in the Byzantine court - borne by numerous emperors - and later by Greek royalty (Konstantinos I and II), the name remains common in Greece and Cyprus. International variants include Constantine (English), Constantin (French, Romanian), Costantino (Italian), Constantino (Spanish, Portuguese), Konstantin (Russian, German, South Slavic), and Konstanty (Polish). Greek short forms and nicknames include Kostas/Costas, Kostis, Dinos/Ntinos, and Dino; the feminine forms are Konstantina and Constantina. Spelled both Konstantinos and Constantinos in the diaspora, it carries a dignified, traditional aura tied to reliability and enduring faith.
