Meaning & origin
Konnie is a rarely given name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1936. It reached its peak popularity in 1963, but never entered the top 1000 names. In the 1960s decade, Konnie had a small revival, though it remains uncommon. Since 2020, its trajectory has been rising, but with no recorded births in the latest year, its frequency is extremely low. The name is a diminutive of Constance, a classic virtue name from Latin. Konnie offers a vintage charm with a friendly, approachable sound.
Konnie is a diminutive of the English name Constance, which derives from the Latin 'constantia' meaning 'steadfastness' or 'constancy'. Constance was a popular name among medieval Christians, often given in reference to the virtue. The short form Konnie emerged in the 19th and 20th centuries as a casual variant, particularly in the United States.
