Quintin is Latin in Origin.
Quintin is a masculine given name rooted in the Latin Quintinus, a diminutive of Quintus meaning “fifth,” traditionally marking a fifth-born child. Through Gallo-Roman usage, it took hold in medieval France, where both Quintin and the closely related Quentin developed. The name’s sense remains “the fifth” or “born fifth,” with Quin commonly used as a friendly short form in English.
Its spread is strongly tied to the cult of Saint Quentin, a 3rd‑century martyr venerated in Gaul, which popularized the name across France and into England via the Normans. Medieval records show multiple spellings, and modern English has favored several variants. Principal forms include Quentin (standard French and widely international), Quinton (Anglicized, influenced by a surname/place-name), Quinten (Dutch/German), Quintín (Spanish), Quintino (Portuguese/Italian), and the feminine Quintina. While never ubiquitous, Quintin maintains steady, cross-cultural recognition thanks to its classic Latin roots and saintly pedigree.
