Quentan
Quentan Origin and Meaning
Quentan appears to be a variant spelling of Quentin, a masculine name of Latin origin meaning "fifth" (derived from "quintus"). This alternative spelling is quite uncommon, offering a distinctive twist on the more familiar Quentin. The traditional Quentin has historical significance, being the name of a 3rd-century Christian martyr, Saint Quentin, and has been used throughout Europe since medieval times. While Quentin has maintained modest popularity in English-speaking countries, the Quentan variant remains very rare. The addition of the 'a' gives it a slightly different cadence while preserving the recognizable sound. Parents might choose this spelling for its uniqueness while still connecting to the established name's history and meaning.
