Meaning & origin
Konni is a rare German diminutive that saw modest use in the United States in the mid-20th century. First recorded in 1954, its peak year was 1963, though it never entered the top 1000 names. The name has remained stable in usage since the 1960s and is given to only a handful of babies each year. Its German origins are reflected in its short, friendly sound, making it a niche choice for parents seeking a Germanic name that is not widely used.
Konni is a German short form of Konstanze (the German form of Constance) or Konrad. As a feminine name, it may derive from Konstanze, meaning 'steadfast' from Latin constare. Alternatively, it can be a pet form of Konrad, from Old High German kuoni 'bold' and rāt 'counsel'. The name gained some use in the mid-20th century in German-speaking regions, but remains rare in English-speaking countries.
