Constantine (Latin: Cōnstantīnus, Greek: Κωνσταντῖνος) is a given name and surname derived from the Latin word constans, meaning constant or steadfast. The monotonic Greek spelling is Κωνσταντίνος, and Κωσταντίνος (Kostantinos without the first n) is historically a common variant. Κώστας (Costas) is a common contraction.
