There are some letters we just don’t see too often at the beginning of names, and our bet is Q is one of the first letters that comes to mind reading that! However, you’d be surprised at all the quality names that start with Q, and we’re here to talk a little bit about them.
Quintus is a stately-sounding boy’s name that has a surprisingly humble meaning of “fifth.” It dates back to Roman times and could be given to either the fifth child in the family or a child born in the fifth month of the year. Nowadays, it’s nearly unheard of–but some of its variants like Quincy are more popular.
Quinn is a great unisex same that’s short and simple. It’s typically a surname in its native Ireland, and means “descendant of Conn.” Americans love Quinn as a first name, though, as it was the 109th most-popular baby name in the U.S. in 2020.
Quirina is the Italian and Spanish variant of Quirinus, which is another name from Roman times that means “spear.” In the Netherlands, this girl’s name morphs into Quirine, which is a good option for parents who aren’t looking to go too European in their name choice.
