Meaning & origin
Quintella is a rare feminine name derived from the Latin Quintus, meaning 'fifth.' First recorded in 1922, its peak usage occurred in 1977, reflecting a modest interest in this numerical surname-style name during the 1970s. Since then, it has maintained a stable but minimal presence, with very few births recorded in recent years. The name Quintella has never appeared in the national top 1000, and its concentration is scattered without a dominant state. As a derivative of the Latin 'quintus,' it shares a naming tradition with other numerical names like Octavia and Sextus. The name offers a distinctive choice for parents seeking a rare, historical feminine form.
