ArchivesName meaning
I was wondering if you could possibly find out the origin of my first name, I knoe my last name is German, but I've searched high and low to find out the meaning of my first name. If you could possibly find out anything about the name "QUANTICA", the effort will be the upmost appriciative, if not Thank You, anyway. :)

Any Leathernecks in your family?
Your name is very likely a feminized version of the Indian (probably Powhatan tribe?) word Quantico, which means "by the large stream".
Quantico is well known to many as the US Marine amphibious installation and war college in northern Virginia. The "large stream" is the Potomac River.

What's your attitude towards Math?
I hope you like it, because your name might have been derived from quantic, which is a term for a homogeneous polynomial with more than two variables. Quantic is derived from quantity, if you like that more.
