Quentin

The name Quintin and its variant Quentin were used historically by other name variants to name the fifth child or a child born during the fifth month. Basically anything with five. However back during Ancient Rome this name had popular variants. July was the fifth month of then. Now it is May. So Quentin has the meaning of Fifth. Also I heard it shares the meaning of The Queens Estate.

Quentin means "Fifth" not just the fifth child. In history Quintus and Quintilius were also used for a child born on the fifth month as well.

Quentin derived from Ancient Roman Quintilius and Quintinus. I have also heard its English meaning is "From the Queens Estate."

Can anyone explain how Quentin could possibly mean 'The Queen's Estate', or even what 'The Queen's Estate' might mean: all her possessions? her home in the country?

Even though two words, like Quentin and queen, happen to start with the same letters, they are not necessarily related. This is depressing. There are so many online dictionaries available. Oh well.

12 years late, but for the person asking how Quentin could mean "the queen's estate"... The English surname Quinton, which could easily be respelled as Quentin by some families (influenced by the given name, which indeed derives from Latin quīntus "fifth"), was originally a habitational name from any several places named with Old English cwēn "woman, wife - especially a king's wife, i.e. a queen" + tūn "homestead, manor [within an enclosure, such as a fence, moat, or walls]" (an extension of the earlier meaning "an enclosed piece of land - especially one belonging to an individual dwelling or garden"; the meaning later again expanded to "settlement, town [within or without an enclosure]").
