The Strangest Names In American Political History : Quintus Ultimus Watson (1874-1929), Quintus Flaminius Atkins (1782-1859), Quintus Quincy Quigley (1828-1910)

"The name "Quintus" is yet another unusual first name that has its origins in ancient Rome, and anyone (politically inclined or otherwise)  possessing an exotic sounding name like "Quintus Ultimus" or "Quintus Flaminius" is certainly worthy of more than just passing notice."

Once Upon a Time Baby Names: Quitterie

" This French saint name, pronouned KEY-tehr-ee (said very fast in native tongue), is lively and upbeat. Unsurprisingly, this girl's name means "quiet," from Latin quietus. This French spelling is a variant of Quiteria (key-TAY-ree-uh), known as the 5th century virgin martyr who had her own cult. She is known as Quiteira (key-TERR-uh) in Occitan. It is possible the true origin of her name is from Kythere, meaning "the red one," which was another title of the Phoenician goddess Astarte, or it could be from Cytherea, another name of Aphrodite, which is associated with the island Kythira."

Quentin



Clare's insight:

Did you know that Pontius and Pompius maybe/probably come from the five-word as well, in slightly different Italic dialects?

Ask BabyNames.com: Crossed Swords

We are expecting our third child next month. We have two boys, Paxton and Zephan. We love unique names and it’s important that they end in “n.” For a boy we love Quillan, which means cub. But the spelling Quillon (not listed on your site) can mean crossing swords or strong. I prefer the latter definition but am unsure of which spelling would be the more common for our newest addition when he gets older.
