History & Origin

Quintarius is a coined boys' name that pairs the Latin quintus, fifth, with a stately -arius tail. It appears in United States records from the early 1980s, part of a wave of inventive names with a classical flourish.

It was never common, given to only a couple dozen boys a year around its late-nineties high. A boy named Quintarius then is in his late twenties now, from a generation that prized bold, made-to-measure names.

Did you know? Its backbone is the Latin word for fifth, the same root behind Quentin and Quintavious, giving it an old-Roman ring.
