History & Origin
Quintan is a respelled Quinton, itself from the Roman personal name Quintus, 'fifth,' and the place and saint's name Quintinus built from it. The number-name tradition once marked birth order, and Quintan carries that quiet history. Its later peak places it among turn-of-the-century boys rather than mid-century ones.
Quintan was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year even at its peak around the year two thousand, and it stayed rare on either side. A boy named Quintan then is in his mid-twenties today.
