Meaning & origin
Quinntin, a modern respelling of Quentin, first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1988. It reached its peak rank of 12,008 in 2025, with an occurrence rate of about 1 in 341,615 newborns. Despite its rarity, it has shown stable usage without dramatic growth, reflecting a niche preference among parents seeking a distinctive take on a established classic. The name has never appeared in any state-level top popularity lists, indicating its widespread but sparse distribution across the country. Its trajectory from 1988 onward suggests a quiet but persistent presence in the naming landscape.
Quinntin is a modern respelling of Quentin, itself from the Latin name Quintinus, a diminutive of Quintus, meaning 'fifth'. The name was borne by a third-century Roman saint, Saint Quentin, who was martyred in Gaul and later venerated in France. The variant spelling with double 'n' has emerged in recent decades as a distinctive take, particularly in the United States.
