Kostantinos
A boy's name of Greek origin with 241 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Among U.S. boy's names, Kostantinos is not in the current national top 1,000. In fact, it is among the rarest names in the SSA dataset — a choice that signals bold individuality.
Appearing in records from 1970 to 2014, Kostantinos has a solid multi-decade track record without being a permanent fixture — it belongs to a specific chapter of American naming.
Kostantinos is not in the current top 1,000 boy names nationally, making it an uncommon choice — though your state or community may differ.
Kostantinos is a boy's baby name of Greek origin, the Greek form of Constantine, from Latin Constantinus, meaning 'steadfast' or 'constant.' Emperor Constantine the Great legalized Christianity throughout the Roman Empire in 313 AD.
Kostantinos is the authentic Greek rendering of one of history's most consequential names. It's used throughout the Greek diaspora as a proud statement of Hellenic heritage, carrying imperial gravitas and over 1,700 years of history.
EtymologyShow more
Names travel. They cross oceans, change spelling, shift pronunciation, and accumulate new associations with each culture that adopts them. Kostantinos is rooted in the Greek tradition, but its presence in American naming since 1970 means it has been shaped by English phonetics, local customs, and the cultural context of the families who chose it.
Kostantinos’s rarity (241 recorded births) may indicate it is strongly tied to a specific cultural community or family tradition, rather than part of the broader American naming mainstream.
