History & Origin

Coni is a streamlined spelling of Connie, the pet form of Constance, from Latin constantia, 'steadfastness'. Writing the nickname with a single trailing -i was a small, fashionable update in the middle of the century.

It never rose far, only a few dozen girls a year at its high around 1961, with faint use lingering for decades. It keeps company with Connie, Conni and Constance.

Did you know? Behind the breezy Coni stands the sober virtue name Constance, from Latin for 'steadfastness' β€” a Puritan favorite softened into a friendly nickname.
