quintia is Latin in Origin.

Quintia is a Latin feminine name deriving from the Roman gens name Quintia (also spelled Quinctia), itself formed from the praenomen Quintus, “fifth,” related to Latin quinque, “five.” In the Roman system it functioned primarily as a family nomen borne by women of the patrician Quinctii/Quintii, rather than a personal given name, but its meaning - “the fifth (born)” - has made it usable as an independent forename in later eras.

Attested across Latin inscriptions, the name resurfaced with humanist classicism and today persists as a rare choice in Italy, Iberia, and the Americas. Spelling variants include Quinctia; cognate or derived forms are Quinta, Quintina, and the diminutives Quintilla and Quintilia; related masculine names include Quintus and its offshoots Quentin/Quintin. Quintia appeals to parents seeking a sleek, ancient Roman option with numeric symbolism - sometimes chosen for a fifth child or as a subtle homage to the number five.
