Meaning & Origin
A male given name from Latin.
Quinton is a boy's and girl's baby name of Latin origin, an English variant of Quentin, from the Roman family name Quintinus, derived from quintus meaning "fifth." It was traditionally given to fifth-born sons in Roman families.
Quinton has recorded over 31,000 U.S. births, making it a well-established alternative to Quentin. The -on ending gives it a slightly more contemporary American feel, sitting alongside names like Payton, Preston, and Peyton in the modern surname-style tradition.
