Census
Konstantino in the 2020 Census
The 2020 Census recorded 133 people with the first name Konstantino, which placed it at #48,223 in the published first-name tables. This is a snapshot of people who already had the name at the time of the Census.
The SSA sections elsewhere on this page answer a different question: how often parents gave the name to babies over time. The "people living today" figure on this page is different again: it is a current estimate built from SSA birth records and age-based survival rates, so the two numbers are not expected to match exactly.

In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Konstantino is White at 86.5%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (9.0%) and Two or More Races (3.0%).

The bar chart below shows how people with the first name Konstantino described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given name, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown so the breakdown is easy to read across every published category. Because the 2020 Census first-name file also includes raw headcounts for each group, Name Census can show those alongside the percentages in the legend and hover tooltip.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A first name does not determine a person's race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the name Konstantino at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Origin
Meaning and history of Konstantino
The name Konstantino is derived from the Greek name Konstantinos, which originated from the Latin name Constantinus. The name Constantinus is believed to have been derived from the Latin word "constans," meaning "steadfast" or "constant." This name has its roots in the Roman Empire and gained popularity during the reign of the Roman emperor Constantine I, also known as Constantine the Great, who ruled from 306 to 337 AD.
Konstantinos was a widely used name among the Greek-speaking population of the Byzantine Empire, which succeeded the Roman Empire in the eastern Mediterranean region. It was a popular choice for naming male children, particularly among the aristocracy and the ruling classes of the Byzantine Empire.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Konstantinos can be found in the writings of the ancient Greek historian Procopius, who lived in the 6th century AD. He documented the life and reign of the Byzantine emperor Justinian I, whose birth name was Petrus Sabbatius, but who later took the name Konstantinos upon his accession to the throne.
Throughout history, several notable figures have borne the name Konstantino or its variations. One of the most famous was Constantine I (272-337 AD), the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity and who played a pivotal role in the spread of the religion throughout the Roman Empire. Another prominent bearer of the name was Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus (905-959 AD), a Byzantine emperor known for his literary works and his efforts to revive the Byzantine Empire's cultural and intellectual life.
In the Eastern Orthodox Church, several saints have also borne the name Konstantino, including Saint Constantine the Great (272-337 AD), Saint Constantine of Murom (1186-1224 AD), and Saint Constantine of Kostroma (1286-1360 AD).
Other notable figures with the name Konstantino include the Greek poet Konstantinos Kavafis (1863-1933 AD), the Russian composer Konstantin Stanislavski (1863-1938 AD), and the Romanian writer and philosopher Konstantin Noica (1909-1987 AD).
The name Konstantino has been widely used across various cultures and regions, particularly in countries with strong Greek or Eastern Orthodox Christian influences, such as Greece, Russia, Romania, and parts of the Balkans. While its popularity has fluctuated over time, the name continues to be used and celebrated as a symbol of steadfastness and cultural heritage.

FAQ
Konstantino: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Konstantino?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 6 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Konstantino 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 57,125,723 US residents.
Is Konstantino a common name?
We classify Konstantino as "Very Rare". It ranks above 22.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 6 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Konstantino most popular?
The single biggest year for Konstantino was 1998, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Konstantino is about 28 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
How common was Konstantino in the 2020 Census?
The published 2020 Census first-name tables recorded 133 people with the name Konstantino, or 0.04 per 100,000 residents. That placed it at #48,223 in the national Census ranking for first names.
Why is the Census count different from the living estimate?
Because they measure different things. The Census figure is a count of people who had the name Konstantino in 2020. The living estimate aims to answer a current question instead: how many people with the name are alive today, based on SSA birth records and age-based survival rates. Since one number is a 2020 snapshot and the other is a present-day estimate, they are not expected to be identical.
What does the Census say about the gender split for Konstantino?
In the 2020 Census sex table, Konstantino appears almost entirely male. Of the 135 people counted with this name, 99.3% were male and only a very small share were female. The Census view is a snapshot of people living with the name in 2020, while the SSA section above tracks births across time.
What does the Census say about the background of people named Konstantino?
In the 2020 Census race and Hispanic-origin table, the largest reported group for people named Konstantino is White at 86.5%. The next largest groups are Hispanic (9.0%) and Two or More Races (3.0%). These figures describe the people who had the name in 2020, not any inherent property of the name itself. The percentages in the chart above come from self-reported race and Hispanic-origin responses in the 2020 Census.
Which group reports the name Konstantino most often in the Census?
White is the largest reported group for people named Konstantino in the 2020 Census, accounting for 86.5% (115 people in the published table).
Why can the Census sex total and race total differ slightly?
The Census Bureau published separate 2020 tables for sex and for race/Hispanic origin, and the released figures can differ slightly because of privacy protection in the public files. That is why this page treats the gender section and the race/origin section as two related snapshots instead of forcing them into one identical total.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only includes names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files have no Census demographic snapshot. When that happens, the SSA trend, gender history, and state sections still appear, but the 2020 Census demographic sections are omitted.
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 Konstantino in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Konstantino a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Konstantino 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 Konstantino still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Konstantino 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 Konstantino 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.
