Konstantinos is the Greek form of Constantine, derived from the Latin *Constantinus*, meaning "steadfast" or "constant." Most famously, it was the name of Constantine the Great, the first Roman emperor to embrace Christianity, who founded the city of Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul). In modern times, it has been held by Greek royalty, including King Constantine II, the country's last monarch, and by footballer Konstantinos "Kostas" Mitroglou. The name's enduring popularity in Greece often leads to the nickname "Kostas," though in Scotland it remains a relatively rare but distinctive choice. Its strong historical and religious associations give it a classic, weighty feel that appeals to parents drawn to names with deep roots in European civilisation.
