Meaning & origin
Quinta is an exceptionally rare name in the United States, never ranking in the top 1000 since records began in 1880. It first appeared on the Social Security Administration's records in 1915, and its peak year of usage was 1977, which reflects a very small number of births. The name has shown a stable trajectory over the decades, with no significant spike or revival. In 2025, the latest year with available data, Quinta remains uncommon, with fewer than five births per year. No top states for the name are recorded, indicating its scattered and infrequent use across the country.
Quinta derives from the Latin word 'quintus,' meaning 'fifth.' It was traditionally given to a fifth-born child, paralleling names like Quintus for boys. The name has been used in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking cultures, often as a feminine form of Quintín or Quintino. Its use in the English-speaking world was rare but occasionally seen in the early 20th century.
