Greek Names that Start With K
- Kastas
Description:
Kastas is a masculine name of uncertain origin, possibly derived from Greek or Baltic naming traditions. It may be related to the Greek name Kostas (a diminutive of Konstantinos, meaning "constant" or "steadfast") or could have connections to Lithuanian name elements. This uncommon name has very limited usage internationally, making it particularly distinctive. Kastas has a strong, masculine sound with its crisp consonants and symmetrical structure. The name's rarity gives it an air of uniqueness while its phonetic pattern feels familiar enough to be accessible. For parents seeking a truly uncommon name with potential historical or cultural connections, Kastas offers an intriguing option that balances distinctiveness with a traditional masculine sound pattern.
- Kostantina
Description:
Kostantina is a variant spelling of Constantina, the feminine form of Constantine, derived from the Latin 'constans' meaning 'steadfast' or 'constant.' This particular spelling reflects Greek phonetic influence, where the 'K' replaces the traditional 'C' found in Western European languages. The name carries significant historical weight, connecting to Emperor Constantine the Great who established Constantinople (modern Istanbul) and played a crucial role in the spread of Christianity in Europe. While Konstantina (with an 'n' after the 'o') is more common in Greece, this variant offers a distinctive alternative. The name flows melodically with its four syllables and can yield friendly nicknames like Kosta, Tina, or Nina. It remains uncommon in English-speaking countries, making it a distinctive choice with strong historical and cultural roots.
