Quentin is Latin in Origin.
Quentin stems from the Latin cognomen Quintinus, a diminutive of Quintus, “fifth.” The name traveled through Western Europe via the cult of the third‑century martyr Saint Quentin (Quintinus) in Roman Gaul, and his shrine lent its name to the French town Saint‑Quentin. By meaning it marked a fifth‑born child or one associated with the number five; in French it settled as Quentin, later adopted into English.
Used steadily in medieval France, Quentin entered Middle English from French, faded after the medieval period, and was revived in the 19th–20th centuries. Literary visibility comes from William Faulkner’s Quentin Compson, while modern bearers include Quentin Blake and Quentin Tarantino. Variants and related forms include Quintin, Quentyn, Quinton (also an English surname/place‑name), Quinten (Dutch/German), Quintino (Italian/Portuguese), and Quintín (Spanish). Short forms: Quin and the initial Q.
