Connie is commonly a diminutive of Constance, which comes from the Latin *Constantia*, meaning 'steadfast' or 'constant'. In Scotland, Connie also acts as a pet form of Cornelius or, less often, an independent name. A famous bearer is the Scottish folk singer and television presenter Connie Stuart, who charmed audiences in the 1950s and 1960s. The actress Connie Booth, co-writer of *Fawlty Towers*, brought the name warmth on screen. There is no direct place connection, but the name shares its root with the Roman Emperor Constantine. Notably, Connie enjoyed a peak in Scottish popularity in the 1930s and 1940s, though it remains a sweetly old-fashioned, dependable choice today.
