Name Meaning

English: from the Old French and Middle English personal name Quentin, Quintin (Latin Quintinus, a suffixed form of quintus ‘fifth’), popular in France from the cult of Saint Quentin of Amiens, and brought to England by the Normans. The surname was altered to Quinton by association with the placenames in 2 below.

English: habitational name from from any of three places called Quinton (Gloucestershire, Northamptonshire, Worcestershire) or from Quainton (Buckinghamshire). The placenames probably derive from Old English cwēn ‘queen’ + tūn ‘farmstead, estate’, or perhaps from Old English cwene ‘woman’ + tūn or an Old English personal name Cwēna + Old English connective -ing- + tūn.

English (of Norman origin): habitational name from Saint-Quentin (Manche) in France or possibly from Saint-Quentin-en-Tourmont (Somme), the site of the martyrdom of Saint Quentin of Amiens, a 3rd-century Roman missionary to Gaul. It is not certain that this surname survived into the modern period.
