Meaning & origin

Constanza is an Italian and Spanish name that has seen modest usage in the United States since first being recorded in 1959. Its peak popularity came in 2014, and since 2015 its usage has been declining. The name is most commonly given in Texas and California, reflecting its appeal in Hispanic communities. While not common nationwide (roughly 1 in 47,000 girls receive the name as of 2025), Constanza offers a distinctive alternative to the better-known Constance, with a melodic Southern European flair.

Constanza is the Italian and Spanish form of Constantia, a late Latin name derived from constans 'steadfast, faithful'. It was borne by a 4th-century Roman martyr and has been used in Italy and Spain since the Middle Ages. The name was also popularized in the Spanish-speaking world through the cult of the Virgin of Constanza.
