Quinte is Dutch, Latin in Origin.
Quinte is a rare given name from the Latin praenomen Quintus, “fifth,” once given to a fifth-born child or one born in Quintilis (July). In French, quinte names the musical interval of a perfect fifth and the fencing guard la quinte, adding shades of harmony and poise. As a personal name, Quinte reads as a streamlined French or Dutch form and a modern clipping of Quentin/Quinten.
Documented but uncommon in France, the Low Countries, and Francophone Canada, it remains a distinctive choice. Variants and related forms include Quint, Quintus, Quinto (Italian/Spanish/Portuguese), Quinta (feminine), and Quentin/Quintin/Quinten/Quinton. Nicknames such as Quin or Quinn appear in English. The core meaning stays “fifth,” often interpreted as order, balance, and measured strength - appealing to parents who want a minimalist, continental alternative with clear classical roots.
