Constanze Origin and Meaning

The name Constanze is a girl's name meaning "steadfastness".

Constanze is the German form of Constance, a feminine name derived from the Latin 'constantia' meaning 'steadfastness' or 'constancy.' This elegant name gained cultural significance through its association with Constanze Mozart, the wife of composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The name's meaning carries connotations of loyalty, perseverance, and unwavering character. While relatively uncommon outside German-speaking regions, it maintains steady usage in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The distinguished 'z' spelling and pronunciation give it a distinctive European flair compared to the more familiar Constance.
