Constantino

Meaning of Constantino

Constantino is a masculine name of Latin origin, derived from Constantinus and signifying “steadfast” or “constant.” It features in both Italian (pronounced kohn-stahn-TEE-noh, /konstaˈtiːno/) and Spanish (pronounced kohn-stahn-TEE-noh, /konstaˈtino/) contexts, distinguished chiefly by vowel length. Historically linked to Emperor Constantine the Great and early Christian traditions, the name evokes durability and conviction. In the United States, Constantino has maintained a modest presence—annual occurrences typically number between ten and thirty births, placing it near the 900th rank in recent Social Security Administration tables. Longitudinal data reveal higher popularity in the early 20th century, when it reached approximately the 400th position, followed by a gradual decline in step with broader trends toward shorter, more contemporary names. Although unlikely to head playground rosters, Constantino’s classical pedigree and quantifiable stability may appeal to parents seeking a choice with historical resonance and analytical clarity.
