Kwintyn is Latin in Origin.

Kwintyn is a modern, phonetic respelling of Quentin/Quintin/Quinton, ultimately from Latin Quintinus, derived from quintus, "fifth." The name spread through medieval Europe via the cult of Saint Quentin, a 3rd-century Roman missionary martyred in Gaul, and entered English through French forms. While the English surname and place-name Quinton can also trace to Old English cwen "queen" + tun "settlement," the given name Kwintyn most commonly reflects the Latin "fifth" lineage.

Contemporary variants and cognates include Quentin, Quintin, Quinton, Quenten/Quenton, Quentyn, and Dutch/German Quinten; Dutch/Flemish show kw- spellings such as Kwinten and Kwintijn. Feminine counterparts are Quinta and Quintina; short forms include Quin/Quinn and Quint. Usage appears in medieval France and England due to the saint's veneration, then revived in the 19th-20th centuries. Kwintyn's K- and -yn styling lends a distinctive, modern flair while retaining the time-tested meaning "the fifth (born)."
