Sintje

Sintje is a diminutive form of the Dutch given name Sint, which itself is derived from the Latin name Constantijn, meaning "constant." It is a relatively uncommon given name, primarily used in the Netherlands and by Dutch communities abroad. The name Sintje is often given to girls, though it can occasionally be used for boys. Its usage is more prevalent in certain regions of the Netherlands, particularly in Friesland. While not a name with a long historical lineage in the way some more traditional names are, it has gained some traction in recent decades as parents seek out more unique or less common appellations. The meaning of the name, "constant," can be interpreted as a wish for steadfastness and reliability for the child. There are no widely known historical figures or celebrities prominently bearing the name Sintje, contributing to its more personal and less public profile. Its appeal lies in its gentle sound and its connection to Dutch heritage.
