quinten is Latin in Origin.
Quinten is the Dutch and Flemish form of Quentin, from Latin Quintinus, diminutive of Quintus, meaning "fifth," once used for a fifth-born child. Through Roman naming customs the name spread across Gaul, where it attached to the 3rd-century martyr Saint Quentin (Latin: Quintinus). Variants include Quentin (French/English), Quintin, Quinton (English), Quinten (Dutch), Kwinten (Flemish), and the related forms Quinto (Italian/Spanish) and feminine Quintina/Quentine. Common short form: Quin.
Medieval veneration of Saint Quentin anchored the name in northern France, lending it to the city of Saint-Quentin and sustaining use through the Middle Ages. In English records Quentin and Quintin appear from Norman times; Quinton also developed as a surname and later a given name. The specific spelling Quinten gained traction in the Low Countries from the late 20th century, where it ranks as a modern, brisk choice. The core meaning remains a straightforward numeral name with a sleek, international profile.
