Laquintiss is in Origin.

Laquintiss is a modern American coinage, often associated with African-American naming styles that pair the feminine prefix La- with a Latinate core. The middle element echoes Quint-/Quinta, from Latin Quintus "fifth," also familiar through Spanish and Portuguese quinta ("fifth; country estate"). Consequently, the name is commonly interpreted as "the fifth," sometimes chosen for a fifth child or a baby born in May. The -iss ending serves as an ornamental, softening suffix comparable to Denise or Clarissa.

Usage is very rare and largely late 20th to early 21st century in the United States, never appearing in national top-1000 charts. Flexible styling is common: LaQuintiss, Laquintiss, and La'Quintiss. Related variants include LaQuinta, Laquintis, Laquintisa, Quintessa, Quintina, and Quinta. Short forms and nicknames may be Quin/Quinn, Quinta, Tiss, or Tissy. No traditional saints or royal bearers are tied to this name.
