Quyntin is a modern Anglophone respelling of Quentin/Quintin, ultimately from the Latin Quintinus, a diminutive of Quintus meaning “fifth.” In Roman naming practice, Quintus marked a fifth-born son or a child born in the fifth month; the name later flourished in medieval France through the cult of the third‑century martyr Saint Quentin and passed into English via Norman influence.

International forms include Spanish Quintín, Portuguese Quintino, Italian Quintino/Quinto, and Dutch Quinten/Kwinten. Common short forms are Quin and Quint.
