Meaning & origin
Constantino is a name with deep roots in Roman history, reflecting the legacy of Constantine the Great through its Latin origin. In the United States, it first appeared in records in 1912 and reached its peak popularity in 1922, ranking highest in that decade before declining. After a long period of low use, it has been rising again since 2014, showing a modest revival. The name remains rare, with approximately 1 in 81,337 boys receiving it in 2025. While no U.S. states show it as particularly concentrated, Constantino is most commonly found in Italian-American and Spanish-speaking communities.
Constantino is the Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese form of the Late Latin name Constantinus, which is derived from Constans (meaning 'steadfast, constant'). The name was borne by several Roman emperors, most notably Constantine the Great, who legalized Christianity in the Roman Empire. It has been used across the Romance-speaking world for centuries, particularly in Italy and Spain.
