Meaning & origin

Quintara is a rare modern name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1984. It saw its highest usage in 1994, the peak year, but has never been common enough to rank nationally. The name has remained stable in low frequency, with no significant upward or downward trend. Its origins are obscure, but it likely represents a creative blend of the Latin 'quin-' prefix and the fashionable '-ara' suffix seen in names like Tara or Cara. Given its scarcity, Quintara offers a distinctive choice for parents seeking something unusual.

Quintara appears to be a modern invented name, likely influenced by the Latin root 'quintus' (fifth) or names like Quintana and Quintina. It emerged sporadically in the United States starting in the mid-1980s, with its peak usage in 1994. The name has remained rare, never entering the top 1000.
