康斯坦丝

Character-by-character breakdown
In Chinese, Constance is written with 4 characters, each standing for one syllable of the sound: 康 (Kāng), 斯 (sī), 坦 (tǎn), 丝 (sī). Each character here is a phonetic unit — picked for how it sounds, not for what it means — so read together they echo Constance rather than spelling out a literal meaning.
