Meaning & Origin
Quenton is a boy's baby name of Latin origin, a variant of Quentin, from the Latin Quintus (fifth), meaning 'fifth' — the name given to the fifth-born child in a Roman family, and the name of a 3rd-century saint.
With over 3,194 recorded births, Quenton is the variant spelling of Quentin that uses the -on ending for a different written form. Quentin Tarantino, whose films have made Quentin one of the most recognizable director's names in cinema, has given the name contemporary cultural weight. Saint Quentin of Amiens (died c. 287 AD), whose martyrdom in northern France gave his name to the city of Saint-Quentin, provides the religious heritage.
