Editor’s reflection
A Latin virtue name carried by early Christian women — 'steadfastness' as a person.
Constance comes from Latin constantia, 'steadfastness, perseverance,' from constans, 'standing firm.' It entered England with the Normans and belongs to the same family as Constantine and Constanza. It is a virtue name in the strict sense: not a description of the child but a hope spoken over her.
The word itself is not in the KJV, but the idea it translates is everywhere. The New Testament repeatedly commends hypomonē, endurance — 'be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord' (1 Corinthians 15:58). Rhoda in Acts 12:15 is described as one who 'constantly affirmed' that Peter stood at the gate; the KJV uses the same root for stubbornly holding a true thing when nobody believes you.
Constance was common in medieval England, faded in the twentieth century, and is now in the early stage of the revival that has already lifted Florence, Beatrice and Clementine. It offers a soft short form, Connie, and an unusually clear meaning for a name that is not itself scriptural.
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord.”
