Kote is Georgian in Origin.

Kote (Georgian კოტე) is a traditional Georgian hypocoristic of Konstantine, itself from Greek Konstantinos, ultimately from Latin constans/constantis “steadfast, constant.” In Georgia the nickname became established as an independent given name by the late 19th–20th centuries, helped by the prestige of Saint/Emperor Constantine in Eastern Christianity and by prominent cultural figures bearing the name.

Related forms include Georgian Konstantine and Kosta; Greek Konstantinos and Kostas; Russian/Slavic Konstantin and diminutives Kostya, Kostik; English Constantine; Italian Costantino; and Spanish/Portuguese Constantino. Feminine counterparts are Konstantina and Constance. Spelling is typically Kote in Latin script; no diacritics are used in Georgian. The name is commemorated with Constantine’s feast (often 21 May with St. Helena) in Orthodox calendars. Notable bearers include theater director Kote Marjanishvili and filmmaker Kote Mikaberidze, underscoring the name’s strong association with Georgian arts and public life.
