Origin 淵源

Quintus is a Latin praenomen, or personal name, which was common throughout all periods of Roman history. It was used by both patrician and plebeian families, and gave rise to the patronymic gentes Quinctia and Quinctilia. The feminine form is Quinta.

Quintus是一個拉丁文的首名，或者說個人的名字。在羅馬歷史上它非常受歡迎，無論貴族或平民家庭都愛用。后來也有用Quintus做教名、或父姓為Quinctia和Quinctilia的。如果用在女孩身上則寫作Quinta。

Throughout Roman history, Quintus was one of the most common praenomina. Although many families did not use the name at all, it was particularly favored by others. The name continued to be used after the collapse of Roman civil institutions in the fifth and sixth centuries, and has survived to the present day.

在古羅馬歷史上，Quintus是最常見的首名之一。雖然當時有很多家庭不使用這個名字，但還是受到很多人的歡迎。從五、六世紀羅馬帝國覆滅之后，這個名字一直流傳至今。

Meaning 含義

Quintus is the Latin word for fifth. It is generally believed that the name was originally given to a fifth child, a fifth son, or a fifth daughter. However, it has also been argued that Quintus and the other praenomina of this type could refer to the month of the year in which a child was born. It may be that such names were given for both reasons.

Quintus是拉丁文中的“第五”。最初人們通常用它給家里的第五個孩子命名，男孩女孩都可以。不過也有人相信類似的名字代表著孩子出生的月份。也許這個名字兩種含義都有吧。

拉丁文中的一到十

Primus, Secundus, Tertius, Quartus, Quintus, Sextus, Septimus, Octavian (Octavus/Octavius), Nonus, Decimus
