Who or what; also a diminutive of Quinton
In Spanish and Portuguese, 'Que' is a common pronoun meaning 'what' or 'that'. As a given name in English-speaking contexts, it is most often used as a phonetic nickname or short form for names beginning with the 'Qu' sound, such as Quinton or Quentin. It has recently emerged as a minimalist, modern choice for parents seeking a short, punchy single-syllable name.
