History & Origin
Konni is a respelling of Connie, itself a pet form of Constance, from the Latin constantia, 'steadfastness' or 'faithfulness.' In the mid twentieth century such short, friendly forms were often registered as full first names, and playful spellings with k and i felt fresh. Konni keeps the constant, faithful meaning of its parent Constance.
Konni was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its peak around 1963, and it faded from the records by the mid nineteen-seventies. A woman named Konni then is in her early sixties today.
