Notes:	English, from Latin "fifth", usually given to the fifth child in the family, if male, or to the fifth boy. Quintus was also a Roman name from which Quentin, Quintin, Caointean and Caoidhean were ultimately derived via Old French. Pompeo and Pons are possibly from dialect forms of "five", so are classed here as lesser synonyms.
