Quinette is of French origin, derived from the word 'quinzaine', which means 'fifteen'. This name gained popularity during the Middle Ages as it was often used to refer to someone born on the 15th day of a month. Quinette is typically given as a female name but can also be used for males in some cases. It has a unique and sophisticated sound, making it a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their child.
The name Quinette experienced its peak popularity during the late 1970s to early 1980s with notable highs in 1973 (8 births), 1976 and 1977 (both with 6 births), and a significant spike in 1980 with 13 births. However, its usage has been declining since the mid-1980s, as indicated by fewer than 10 births per year from 1985 onwards, with the exception of 1986 (12 births) and 1992 (10 births). Overall, between 1957 and 1993, there were a total of 189 babies named Quinette.
