Constantine (name)
Constantine ( or ; Latin: ''Cōnstantīnus'', Greek: , ''Kōnstantînos'') is a masculine and feminine (in French for example) given name and surname which is derived from the Latin name ''Constantinus'', a hypocoristic of the first names Constans and Constantius, both meaning "constant, steadfast" in Latin. The popularity stems from the eleven Roman and Byzantine emperors, beginning with St. Constantine I (the Great). The names are the Latin equivalents of the Bulgarian name 'Костадин' and the Greek name ''Eustáthios'' (Εὐστάθιος), meaning the same, not changing, standing. The name "Constantine" is still very common in Greece and Cyprus, the forms Κώστας ( Kostas), Κωστής (Kostis) and Ντίνος (Dinos) being popular hypocoristics. Costel is a common Romanian form, a diminutive of Constantin. The Bulgarian, Russian and Serbian form is Konstantin (Константин),and their short forms Kostya and Kosta, respectively.

Jean Michel Constant Leber
Jean Michel Constant Leber (8 May 1780 – 22 December 1859) was a French historian and bibliophile. Biography Leber was born at Orléans on 8 May 1780. His first work was a poem on ''Joan of Arc'' (1804); but he wrote at the same time a ''Grammaire général synthétique'', which attracted the attention of J. M. de Gérando, then secretary-general to the ministry of the interior. The latter found him a minor post in his department, which left him leisure for his historical work. He even took him to Italy when Napoleon was trying to organize, after French models, the Roman states which he had taken from the Pope in 1809. Leber however did not stay there long, for he considered the attacks on the temporal property of the Holy See to be sacrilegious. On his return to Paris Leber resumed his administrative work, literary recreations and historical researches. While spending a part of his time writing vaudevilles and comic operas, he began to collect old essays and rare pamphlets by o ...
