Quintus is a first name for boys.
There’s a good chance that a boy named Quintus in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Quintus in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 boys is named Quintus by his parents. In the ranking of most common boys names in recent years, Quintus ranks at #3,731. That means there are 3,730 more common boys names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Quintus.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should to be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Quintus. Boys named Quintus have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it many years ago: Reaching pos. 2,440 Quintus ranked higher than ever in 1917. By comparison, there have been 95 years in which the first name Quintus has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2009. In general, parents name their sons Quintus only once in a blue moon, so boys and men with this name can consider themselves really special!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Quintus was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Meeting a man or boy named Quintus is something really special. Out of all 50 states, men and boys named Quintus can be found in only two: California and New York. No other state currently has residents named Quintus. However, we must admit that a given name is only included in a state’s official statistics if there are at least five people with that name living in that state – so it’s quite possible that there are still a few men and boys called Quintus living in one state or another. (If your name is Quintus and you live outside of California or New York, we’d really appreciate it if you’d let us know so we can refine our statistics even further.) Either way, the name is quite rare. The best chance of meeting a Quintus is in California, as there live more men and boys with this name in relation to the population than in any other state. But even here in California, only 0.00043% of all male residents are called Quintus – that’s just one in 230,024! And even in all these states combined there are only a total of 118 men going by that name. So, if your name is Quintus, chances are you will never meet another man bearing that extraordinary first name.
Well, you might say, you probably figured that out yourself! But what you might not know is: The Q is really rare as a first letter for boys' names: only 0.8% of all common boys' names in the US begin with a Q. Only the letters X and U are even rarer as the first letter of boys' names. By the way, the most common initial letters for boys’ names are J and A.
With seven letters, the name Quintus has a typical length for first names in the US. In fact, 26% of all common first names consist of exactly seven letters. 52% of all first names are shorter, while 22% have eight letters or more. On average, first names in the US (not counting hyphenated names) are 6.5 letters long. There are no significant differences between boys' and girls' names.
That means that as 0.8% of all boys' names start with a Q, all other letters occur on average more than five times as often as the Q. Of the comparatively few boys' names that begin with a Q, most are also not very common - the most popular currently is the one of Mr. Tarantino.
If your name is Quintus and someone asks after your name, you can of course just tell them what it is. But sometimes that isn't so easy - what if it's too loud, and you don't understand them well? Or what if the other person is so far away that you can see them but not hear them? In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
