Quintion is Latin in Origin.

Quintion is a rare modern English given name, likely a creative reshaping of Quinton/Quintin and Quentin. These forms derive from Latin Quintus, “fifth,” a Roman cognomen for a fifth‑born child, and spread through Saint Quentin (Latin Quintinus), a third‑century martyr venerated across medieval France and England.

Another link connects the family to the English surname/place-name Quinton, from Old English cwen/cwene “queen, woman” + tun “settlement,” yielding “queen’s estate.” Quintion keeps these associations while adding a distinctive -ion ending with a Latin feel. Variants include Quentin, Quintin, Quinton, Quenten, and Quinten; related forms are Quintino and the feminine Quintina; nicknames are Quin/Quinn. Documented use of Quintion is very uncommon until the late twentieth century, mainly in English‑speaking countries. Parents sometimes choose it to mark a fifth child or echo birth order.
