Queintin is Latin in Origin.

Queintin is a modern creative respelling of Quentin/Quintin, ultimately from the Latin cognomen Quintinus, derived from Quintus, “fifth.” The name was borne by a third‑century martyr, Saint Quentin of Amiens, whose cult spread across medieval France and into England, fixing Quentin and Quintin as established forms. Cognates include French Quentin, Spanish Quintín, Portuguese and Italian Quintino, and Dutch/German Quinten. The core meaning points to “the fifth (born).”

Usage of the traditional spellings persisted from the Middle Ages and saw a revival in the 19th–20th centuries. In English, Quinton also appears, in part influenced by an unrelated place‑name surname meaning “queen’s town.” Queintin surfaces in late 20th/early 21st‑century records as a distinctive, rare variant. Short forms include Quin/Quinn and Quent. Additional variants and spellings: Quenton, Quentyn, Quintin, Quentin, and, in transliteration, Kventin; feminine counterparts include Quintina and Quentina.
