Meaning and history
Quintus is an ancient Roman masculine praenomen meaning “fifth” in Latin. It was traditionally given to a fifth child or a child born in the fifth month, though Roman naming practice did not always follow those rules literally. The name was borne by many prominent Romans, including statesman and general Quintus Fabius Maximus and poet Quintus Horatius Flaccus, known in English as Horace. Related Roman names include Quinta, Quintinus, and Quintilian.
