About Quenton
Quenton is a masculine name representing an alternative spelling of Quentin, which derives from the Latin name Quintinus, meaning 'fifth.' Originally referring to a child born fifth in birth order, this name has evolved beyond its numerical origins. The variation with an 'o' gives the classic name a slightly distinctive edge while maintaining its sophisticated sound. Quenton carries an air of refinement and intellect, perhaps influenced by notable bearers like filmmaker Quentin Tarantino. While less common than the traditional spelling, Quenton appeals to parents seeking names that balance familiarity with uniqueness, offering a subtle twist on a recognized classic.
As of October 2026, Quenton ranked #7557 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #1052 in 1990.
