The story of Connie
Connie began as a pet form of Constance, which comes from the Latin constantia, meaning steadiness or constancy. It has also served as a short form for other names that start with Con-, such as Cornelius and Conrad for boys. Over time it has become a name in its own right.
Connie first appears in the CSO records for girls in 1988. It stayed rare until the 2010s, when short, friendly pet names came back into fashion. Its best year so far was 2022, when 25 girls were named Connie and it reached number 187. In 2025 there were 19.
It is much better known in Northern Ireland, where it reached number 58 in 2018 and was number 77 in 2025. A few boys in Ireland have been called Connie too, first in 2011.
