Quintynn is English, Latin in Origin.

Quintynn is a modern English respelling of Quentin/Quintin, ultimately from the Late Latin name Quintinus, a diminutive of Quintus meaning “fifth.” The cult of Saint Quentin (Quintinus), a 3rd-century martyr venerated in Picardy, propelled the name across medieval France, and Norman French later carried it into England. Usage persisted intermittently and then revived in the 19th and 20th centuries in English-speaking countries, with American popularity spikes for Quentin and Quinton in the late 1900s.

Variants and related forms include Quentin, Quintin, Quinton, Quinten, Quentyn, Quintyn, and the elaboration Quinnton; common nicknames are Quin and Quinn (the latter also an independent Irish surname-name). The -ynn ending of Quintynn reflects contemporary U.S. tastes for visually distinctive, sometimes unisex spellings, though the name remains chiefly masculine. The meaning is “the fifth” or “born fifth,” now used more as an emblem of order or lineage than a literal birth order.
