Meaning & Story
From Latin "quintus" (fifth), evolved through Old French into an English given name meaning "fifth" — strong, classic, and dignified.
Quinton is the sort of name that gives a dog instant gravitas. It has a strong, preppy quality — like a name from a boarding school roster that somehow ended up on a golden retriever who fully deserves it. Derived from the Latin "quintus" meaning fifth, it was historically given to fifth-born sons but has long since shed that literal meaning to simply be a solid, handsome name. A dog named Quinton tends to be reliable, distinguished, and deeply beloved by everyone he meets.
