Origin
Meaning and history of Constandinos
The name Constandinos has its origins in the Greek language and culture, dating back to ancient times. It is derived from the Greek word "konstantinos," which means "constant" or "steadfast." This name is closely associated with the Greek word "konstans," meaning "firm" or "immovable."
In the Byzantine Empire, the name Constandinos gained significant prominence, particularly after the reign of Constantine the Great, who ruled from 306 to 337 AD. Constantine was the first Roman emperor to embrace Christianity, and his influence played a pivotal role in the spread of the religion throughout the empire.
The name Constandinos can be found in various ancient Greek texts and historical records, including the writings of Byzantine chroniclers and ecclesiastical sources. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name dates back to the 4th century AD, when a Byzantine scholar and theologian named Constandinos of Antioch lived and worked.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Constandinos. One of the most famous was Constandinos VII Porphyrogenitos, a Byzantine emperor who ruled from 913 to 959 AD. He was known for his literary works and his efforts to revive the Byzantine Empire's cultural and intellectual traditions.
Another prominent figure was Constandinos Palaiologos, the last Byzantine emperor, who ruled from 1449 to 1453 AD. He defended Constantinople against the Ottoman Turks during the city's final siege, ultimately losing his life in the battle.
In the modern era, Constandinos Cavafy, a renowned Greek poet who lived from 1863 to 1933, is widely celebrated for his poetic works that explored themes of longing, sensuality, and the complexities of human existence.
Constandinos Karamanlis, a Greek statesman who served as the Prime Minister of Greece from 1955 to 1963 and again from 1974 to 1980, played a crucial role in the country's transition to democracy after years of military rule.
Lastly, Constandinos Tsaldaris, a Greek politician and diplomat who lived from 1884 to 1973, served as the Prime Minister of Greece from 1933 to 1935 and played a significant role in Greek politics during the turbulent years of the 20th century.

FAQ
Constandinos: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Constandinos?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Constandinos going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Constandinos a common name?
We classify Constandinos as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Constandinos most popular?
The single biggest year for Constandinos was 1977, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Constandinos is about 46 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Constandinos in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Constandinos a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Constandinos in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Constandinos still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Constandinos in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Constandinos can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
