About the name
Connie is a pet form made with -ie, most often of Constance. It is connected to Constantine, which gives the meaning 'constant, steadfast'.
Read the restShow less
Two syllables, said KON-ee, with the stress on the first. Conni and Conny are alternative spellings, and Constance is the full form for those who want a longer name.
Canadian records place its peak in the early 1960s, so it was once a mid-century name. It has since found new popularity in the United Kingdom, where it is a top-80 name in Northern Ireland and also used in England and Wales and Scotland. It is rising in one region and falling in none, so the revival appears to be holding.
