Meaning & origin
Quint is a brief, numeric name of Latin origin, meaning 'fifth.' First recorded in the United States in 1959, it has never reached high popularity. Its peak year was 1964, when 15 boys received the name. Since 2015, its trajectory has been falling, with fewer than 5 births in recent years. Quint is closely related to Quentin and Quinton, but stands alone as a concise choice. It has no strong association with any particular state or region, as its top states list is empty in the Social Security data.
Quint derives from Latin quintus, meaning 'fifth.' It was historically used as a given name for the fifth-born child, or as a diminutive of Quentin (from Latin Quintinus, 'the fifth'). The name appears sporadically in English-speaking countries, reaching its highest popularity in the United States in 1964 with 15 births, before declining in use.
