The surname Quintino has its origins in Italy, dating back to the late medieval period around the 13th century. It is derived from the Latin personal name "Quintinus," which itself is derived from the Latin word "quintus," meaning "fifth." This suggests that the name may have originally been given to a fifth-born son or someone associated with the number five.

The earliest recorded instances of the name Quintino can be found in various Italian documents and records from the 13th and 14th centuries. One notable example is Giovanni Quintino, a merchant from Florence who lived in the late 13th century and is mentioned in several trade records from that time.

In the 15th century, the name Quintino appears in the records of the city of Siena, where a prominent family bearing this surname held positions of influence. One member of this family, Antonio Quintino (1430-1498), was a renowned scholar and humanist who served as a professor at the University of Siena.

Moving into the 16th century, we find references to Girolamo Quintino (1499-1576), a Venetian historian and author who wrote extensively about the history of his native city. His work, "Historia di Venezia," published in 1551, is considered an important source for understanding the early history of Venice.

In the 17th century, the name Quintino appears in the records of the Papal States, where a family of that name held land and titles. One notable figure from this era is Cardinal Camillo Quintino (1629-1696), who served as a diplomat for the Vatican and was involved in various political negotiations during his time.

Another prominent individual with the surname Quintino was Giuseppe Quintino (1779-1855), an Italian painter and sculptor who was active in the early 19th century. He is known for his works in churches and public buildings throughout Italy, particularly in his native region of Piedmont.
