Quantay is a modern American given name, most often found in African-American naming traditions. It is generally understood as a blended or ornamental formation combining Quan (a standalone nickname element familiar from names like Jaquan and Daquan) with Tay/Taye (a common English nickname and also a short form found in several African-origin names). The name does not trace to a single historical language source; its appeal is chiefly phonetic and stylistic.

As a modern coinage, Quantay carries no fixed traditional meaning, and parents often ascribe personal significance or derive meaning from its components rather than from an established etymology.
