Cuarto is Spanish in Origin.

Cuarto is the Spanish masculine ordinal for “fourth,” from Latin quartus, and also a common noun meaning “quarter” or “room.” As a given name it signals sequence - often chosen to mark a fourth-born child or the fourth bearer of a name - rather than a saintly or descriptive tradition. Pronounced KWAHR-toh.

Use as a first name is rare but attested in some civil registries in Latin America and Spain from the late 19th century onward, more often appearing as a middle name or as a generational epithet akin to “IV.” Variants and cognates include the feminine Cuarta; Catalan Quart/Quarta; Italian and Portuguese Quarto; and the related cardinal Cuatro (“four”), which may surface as a nickname. Parallel ordinal names in Spanish - Segundo, Tercero, Quinto - provide cultural context. Cuarto conveys straightforward, numerical symbolism: order, continuity, and family lineage, while remaining highly uncommon as a standalone choice.
