Quantum Origin and Meaning

The name Quantum is a boy's name meaning "amount; smallest possible discrete unit of any physical property".

In Latin, quantum literally means "amount," but these days it is a physics term used to describe the smallest units of energy and matter. As of 2020, Quantum is also a baby name. That year it was given to five baby boys, the minimum required to make it onto the American baby name charts.
