What Does the Name Quintella Mean?
Quintella is a feminine name of Latin origin. It is built from Quinta, the feminine form of the Roman given name Quintus, which comes from the Latin word quintus, meaning "fifth." The ending -ella is a diminutive suffix, so the name's literal sense is "little fifth one," while its customary meaning is simply "fifth." It belongs to the Roman group of ordinal-number names that also includes Quintus, Quinta, Quintina, and Quintilla; of these, Quintilla is the closest in form, being a diminutive of Quinta made with the related suffix -illa.
Quintella Name History & Origins
Quintella grows out of the old Roman habit of naming children with ordinal numbers. Quintus was one of the earliest and most common Roman given names, traditionally given to a fifth son or fifth child, and it produced feminine counterparts such as Quinta. Diminutive endings like -illa and -ella were added to such names to create familiar or affectionate forms, yielding Quintilla and, along the same pattern, Quintella.
Because it carries the -ella ending, Quintella also stands beside the many feminine names that took that suffix in Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese, such as Isabella, Daniella, and Antonella. The form Quintella is found as a family name in the Portuguese-speaking world, and it is also used as a feminine given name in English-speaking countries.
