Konstantinos
Meaning of Konstantinos
Konstantinos has roots in ancient Greece and Rome. Derived from the Latin Constantinus and the Greek Κωνσταντίνος, the name means “steadfast” or “constant.” It recalls Emperor Constantine the Great, who founded Constantinople in 330 CE and established Christianity within the Roman Empire, as well as Saint Constantine of Cappadocia, venerated as a martyr. In modern Greece it remains common; abroad—particularly in the United States—it appears less often but shows steady usage: in 2024, 48 newborn boys bore the name, ranking 876th nationally after rising from 904th in 2022. With its classical resonance and dignified cadence—pronounced kawn-STAHN-tee-nos (/kɔnstɑnˈtinɔs/)—Konstantinos offers parents a direct link to early imperial history and enduring cultural heritage.
