The name Constantine
\c(o)-nsta-ntine, con-stan-tine\ is pronounced KAHN-stan-teen.
It is of Latin origin, and its meaning is "constant, steadfast".
Constantine is a very rare male first name and a very popular surname
From Constantinus, which is derived from Constans. The form Constant was popular among the Puritans as a virtue name. Constantine the Great, the fourth-century emperor, made Christianity the official state religion of the Roman Empire. Constantine was also the name of 11 Byzantine emperors, a royal name in Greece, and the name of three kings of medieval Scotland, where it is used as an Anglicized form of Conn (Gaelic). The Russian czars, in a bid to legitimize Russia as the new home of Orthodoxy, also used the name.

Constantine was the Roman Emperor that decreed Christianity legal and he also proclaimed it as the religion of the Roman Army and his own. Most say Constantine was the man primarilly responsible for bringing the Christian religion to Rome.

Contantine was the emperor of Rome who ruled that everyone had to be a Christian. In doing so he created the Catholic church, with all it's Roman paganism.
