Constance's origin is Latin, and its use, English and French. Derived from constare 'to withstand' ; constantis 'steadfast, constant'. An older form of the name is Constantia (Latin). Constantia is either a feminine form of Constantius, itself of the Latin Constans, or else it could be from a noun meaning 'constancy'. The name was borne by one of the daughters of William the Conqueror, and by Constance of Sicily (1154-1198), the wife of Henry VI and heiress of the Norman kings of Sicily. It was rather popular among medieval English speakers. In the 17th century, it saw an increase in use during the vogue for 'virtue' names, due to its association with the Christian virtue of being steadfast in faith.
