Konstanty: Last Name Origin and Family Crest

Behind the Konstanty surname stands Constantine, an English name that clerks and families wrote in more than one way. The family name meaning is “A descendant of Constantine (constant)”, the same as for Constantine.

Before spelling was fixed, Constantine was also written Konstanty. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists. You may also find the name written Konstantin.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Konstanty, so the heraldry linked to Constantine is a starting point, not an automatic right. Research your Konstanty family history with a full surname report and painted coat of arms.
