Meaning & origin
Constantin is a classic masculine name of Latin origin, meaning 'constant' or 'steadfast'. In the United States, it first appeared in Social Security records in 1913, which also marks its peak year of use, though it has never been extremely common. In 2025, it ranked 8,910th overall, with approximately 1 in 213,510 boys receiving the name. The name has followed a falling trajectory since 2021, indicating a decline in recent years. Despite its rarity in the U.S., Constantin enjoys strong international use, especially in Eastern Europe, and remains a distinguished choice for parents seeking a traditional name with imperial heritage.
From the Latin name Constantinus, a derivative of Constans meaning 'constant, steadfast'. It was the name of several Roman emperors, most notably Constantine the Great, who legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire. The name has been used across Europe, especially in Eastern Orthodox countries, and entered English use in the 19th century.
