Quincella is an uncommon and distinctive given name of Latin origin, derived from the male name Quintus. The name Quintus itself comes from the Latin word 'quintus', meaning fifth, which was used to indicate a person's position in the family, with Quintus being the fifth child. However, unlike its masculine counterpart, Quincella is a feminine given name.
The name Quincella does not appear in popular literature or history, making it unique and untethered to specific cultural associations beyond its Latin roots. Its rarity may contribute to its allure for those seeking an uncommon yet elegant name choice.
Phonetically, Quincella /kwɪnˈsɛlə/ is pronounced as 'kin-SEL-la', with the stress on the second syllable and a soft 'l' sound following the 's'. This pronunciation maintains its Latin origin while offering a modern twist.
The name Quincella does not have any associated elements such as flowers, gemstones, or metals. Instead, it stands alone as a unique given name choice, allowing the bearer to forge their own associations and interpretations over time.
Quincella was not a particularly popular name, with only 5 babies given this name each in 1949 and again in 1973, totaling 10 births over the two years.
