US Popularity Rank: None

Origin: Latin

Meaning: Of quintus; The fifth born

Whether baby's the firstborn or last, the masculine name Quintinus will honor their unique place in the family line. Rooted in Latin quīntus, meaning "the fifth born," it was traditionally given to the fifth child in a clan. The most notable bearer is the patrician Quinctia family of Rome, who held the state's highest offices and ruled with their natural air of authority. Baby can also look to the number five itself for inspiration, which symbolizes change, harmony, adventure, and luck across different faiths and traditions. Your darling Quintinus will be a natural-born leader and never settle for anything but first place!
