Meaning and origin of Constantine
Constantine is a Latin name that means “steadfast, constant”.
Constantine comes from the Latin Constantinus, derived from constans, meaning steadfast or constant.

He is venerated as a saint in the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the name has been borne by many Byzantine emperors, Greek kings and others. It is usually pronounced KON-stun-teen or KON-stun-tyne.
