What is the meaning of the name Quintylla ?

The baby name Quintylla is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced kwin-TIL-ə (IPA: /kwɪnˈtɪlə/).

Quintylla is Latin in Origin.

Quintylla draws on the Latin root quintus, meaning “fifth.” It aligns with the diminutive Quintillus (“little fifth”) and its feminine counterparts Quintilla and Quintilia, names once used in Rome to signal a fifth-born child or an association with the fifth month in the Roman calendar. In inscriptions and family records, especially those of the gens Quintilia, these forms appear as straightforward markers of lineage and order. Quintylla introduces a modern twist by inserting y, an Anglicizing flourish that softens the look while preserving the classical core.

Usage has remained rare, though related forms surfaced intermittently in Romance-speaking regions and were revived by humanist tastes. Variants include Quintilla, Quintilia, Quintila, and the streamlined Quinta; modern diminutives and nicknames are Quinn, Quin, Quinta, and Tilly. The name’s meaning centers on “fifth” or, by association with Quintillus, “little fifth,” conveying understated numerological charm.
