Constantopoulos Surname Meaning
The Greek surname Constantopoulos (Κωνσταντόπουλος) derives from Konstantinos (Κωνσταντίνος), usually through the familiar form Konstantas or Kostas, combined with the patronymic suffix -opoulos (-όπουλος), meaning “descendant of.” Konstantinos derives from Latin Constantinus, based on constans, meaning “steadfast,” “constant,” or “firm,” and became one of the most prominent names of the Byzantine and Greek worlds through Constantine the Great. Constantopoulos therefore essentially means “descendant of Konstantinos/Konstantas,” with the -opoulos formation particularly characteristic of Peloponnesian surname tradition.
