What Does the Name Quintina Mean?
Quintina is a feminine name of Latin origin meaning "fifth." It comes from the Roman given name Quintus, the Latin ordinal for "fifth." The longer masculine form Quintinus added the suffix -inus to Quintus; Quintina is its feminine counterpart, with the ending -ina. In Italian and Portuguese the masculine form is Quintino, and in Spanish it is Quintín; Quintina serves as the feminine of those names. The literal sense is simply "fifth," while the traditional explanation that it referred to a fifth-born child is a customary interpretation rather than a separate meaning.
Quintina Name History & Origins
Quintus was one of the standard personal names of ancient Rome. Its meaning, "fifth," led to the traditional explanation that it was given to a fifth-born child, especially a fifth son, though in historical Roman use it also functioned as an inherited personal name without a literal birth-order sense. The derivative Quintinus is recorded in Latin and is best known through Saint Quentin, a third-century martyr venerated in northern France; his name appears in French as Quentin and in Italian as Quintino. Quintina developed as the feminine form of this name group: it matches Quintino in Italian and Portuguese and Quintín in Spanish. It is used as a given name in those language areas, while remaining uncommon in English.
