Quent is English, Latin in Origin.

Quent is a clipped English form of Quentin, from Latin Quintinus, the diminutive of Quintus "fifth." The name passed into English via Old French Quentin and the cult of a 3rd-century martyr in northern Gaul, commemorated in Saint-Quentin. Through Norman and ecclesiastical channels it entered medieval usage, then reappeared in later centuries as fashions revived saintly and classical names.

While commoner in France, the Quentin family of names has remained recognizable in English; Quent emerged as an affectionate short form in the mid-1900s and is now sometimes used independently for a brisk, modern feel. Variants include Quentin (standard), Quintin, Quinton, and Quinten; diminutives Quin and Quint are also used, though Quinn often has separate Irish roots. Feminine counterparts are Quentina and Quintina. Meaning: "the fifth" or "fifth-born."
