Origin and meaning of Kostas
Kostas is the affectionate short Greek form of Konstantinos (Constantine), from Latin Constans, 'constant, steadfast, faithful'. The name celebrates strength of character and recalls Emperor Constantine the Great, Rome's first Christian ruler. It is very common in Greece and Cyprus, where Konstantinos and its pet form Kostas are a classic choice; elsewhere it matches Constantine and Konstantin.
