Konsta

Konsta is a masculine given name used primarily in Finland. It functions as the Finnish diminutive of Konstantin, the Finnish form of Constantine, and it can also be used as a standalone name in modern times.

The name Konstantin ultimately derives from the Latin Constantinus, which itself comes from the Greek Kostandinos, with the meaning often associated with steadfast or constant. This connection reflects a common pattern in naming that draws from classical languages to convey enduring virtues.

In Finnish naming practice, Konsta is common across generations and appears in both informal and formal contexts. It is often chosen as a familiar form of longer names such as Konstantin, but it is also given directly as a legal name at birth.

Notable people named Konsta include individuals in various Finnish public spheres, including arts, sports, and academia, illustrating the name’s integration into contemporary Finnish culture. Variants and related forms in other languages include Konstantin and Kostas, while locally in Finland the name is typically recognized for its concise, approachable form.
