History & Origin

Quinterious is a contemporary coinage built on the Quint- element of Quinton and Quintus (Latin quintus, 'fifth') with a flourishing -ious ending. Names of this kind borrow the ring of classical Latin names while being freshly assembled; the 'fifth' sense comes from the root, the grandeur from the suffix.

It appeared briefly in the nineteen-nineties, given to only about sixteen boys a year at its peak. A boy named Quinterious then is in his late twenties today.

Did you know? Quinterious dresses the Latin quintus, 'fifth', in a grand -ious ending like Demetrius and Cornelius, a fashion for stately, classical-sounding coinages.
