History & Origin

Quintina descends from the Latin ordinal 'quintus', 'fifth', and served as the feminine partner to Quintus and Quintin. In American use it was quietly present from the 1950s onward, cresting in the mid-1970s at only a few dozen girls a year.

It never became common, reading instead as a dignified, faintly old-world choice with a clear meaning behind it. A girl named Quintina at its peak would be reaching her late forties now, and the name has stayed a rarity without any real revival.

Did you know? The whole Quint- family carries a hidden number: Quintus, Quintin and Quintina all trace back to the Latin word for 'fifth', once a literal count of a child's place in a large family.
