Globally, Costea (Костя
, Costea
) is a common primarily boy's, but very infrequently feminine given name. The given name Costea is characteristic of Eastern Europe, particularly Moldova, where it is quite a common male name, Belarus, and Romania, where it is quite a rare unisex name. Not in comparison with a country's population, this name is the most popular in Eastern Europe, particularly Russia, Romania, and Moldova. Likewise, Costea is the last name as well as the forename.
Costea is also a name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Konstantin Gavrilovich Treplyov , the character in the play "The Seagull" and Konstantin Dmitrievich Levin , the character in Anna Karenina.
