Meaning & Origin
A female given name from Latin.
Constance is a girl's and boy's baby name of Latin origin, from the Roman name Constantia, meaning 'steadfastness' or 'constancy.' It was brought to England by the Normans and was carried by several medieval queens, including Constance of Castile, wife of John of Gaunt.
While it reached peak popularity in the 1920s–40s, Constance has a quiet resurgence underway as parents rediscover vintage names with strong meanings. The nickname Connie gives it an approachable, retro charm.
