Kosta is Greek in Origin.
Kosta is a masculine given name of Greek and South Slavic origin, a short form of Konstantinos (Greek Κωνσταντίνος) and Konstantin. It ultimately derives from Latin Constantinus, from constans, meaning “steadfast” or “constant,” so the name carries associations of reliability and perseverance.
Used across the Greek world and the Balkans, it appears as Kóstas (Κώστας) in Greek and as Kosta in Serbian, Croatian, Macedonian, and Bulgarian contexts. Its popularity was reinforced by the prestige of Constantine the Great and numerous Orthodox saints, keeping it in steady circulation from late antiquity through the modern era. Related and variant forms include Kostas, Costa, Kosti, Kostya, Kostadin, Konstantin/Constantine, and the Greek diminutive Dinos; in English-speaking diasporas, Gus or Dean sometimes serve as informal equivalents. The feminine counterpart is Konstantina (often shortened to Dina or Ntina).
