The fifth
A modern American creation, Quintavis combines the Latin prefix 'Quint-' (meaning fifth) with the popular suffix '-avis'. It follows a pattern of rhythmic, multi-syllabic names often found in African American naming traditions. While 'Quint' historically denoted a fifth-born child, this elaborated form is chosen primarily for its distinctive sound and style.
