Quenten
Quenten Origin and Meaning
Quenten is a masculine name representing a variant spelling of Quentin, which derives from the Latin name Quintinus, meaning "fifth" or "fifth-born." This alternative spelling maintains the classic appeal of the traditional form while offering a slightly different visual presentation. Historically, the name gained significance through St. Quentin, a 3rd-century Roman missionary who became a martyr in Gaul (now France). The name has enjoyed moderate popularity throughout Western countries, though this particular spelling is less common than Quentin or Quintin. Quenten has a strong, distinctive sound with contemporary appeal, while still carrying historical weight. The name projects qualities of intelligence and individuality, making it an attractive choice for parents seeking something recognizable yet somewhat uncommon.
