The fifth
Quintan is a form of Quintin, a French adaption of the lovely Latin Quintus. This masculine title was used as a personal name meaning “the fifth”—often gifted to the fifth child of the family. Also linked to a surname, the Quinctia family was highly regarded in Roman society. Quintan ventured to England during the Norman Conquest, where it was adopted as a surname honoring Saint Quinton, a third-century missionary in Gaul. Whether intrigued by the Roman Empire, remembering an early Christian saint, or simply in love with its polished nerdy vibes, Quintan is a spiffy choice.
