Constancy Origin and Meaning
The name Constancy is a girl's name.
Constancy is a feminine virtue name derived from the Latin 'constantia,' meaning steadfastness or faithfulness. It emerged during the Puritan era when virtue names gained popularity for their emphasis on moral qualities. Though never widely used, Constancy represents reliability, perseverance, and unwavering commitment. The name carries a dignified, somewhat antique sensibility while offering the friendlier nickname options of Connie or Stancy. While virtue names have experienced periodic revivals, Constancy remains quite rare, appealing primarily to those drawn to uncommon historical names with clear, positive meanings. Its connection to steadfast values makes it an understated choice with significant moral weight.
