谢霆锋与张柏芝的次子于上周三晚8点多降生。前日谢霆锋公布了宝宝照片,并正式取名Quintus。Quintus是一个拉丁文的名字,它到底有什么含义和渊源呢?
Origin 渊源
Quintus is a Latin praenomen, or personal name, which was common throughout all periods of Roman history. It was used by both patrician and plebeian families, and gave rise to the patronymic gentes Quinctia and Quinctilia. The feminine form is Quinta.
Quintus是一个拉丁文的首名,或者说个人的名字。在罗马历史上它非常受欢迎,无论贵族或平民家庭都爱用。后来也有用Quintus做教名、或父姓为Quinctia和Quinctilia的。如果用在女孩身上则写作Quinta。
Throughout Roman history, Quintus was one of the most common praenomina. Although many families did not use the name at all, it was particularly favored by others. The name continued to be used after the collapse of Roman civil institutions in the fifth and sixth centuries, and has survived to the present day.
在古罗马历史上,Quintus是最常见的名字之一。虽然在那个时代有很多人甚至都没有名字,但还是有很多人喜欢用它。即使在5、6世纪罗马帝国覆灭之后,直至今天这个名字依旧很受欢迎。
Meaning 含义
Quintus is the Latin word for fifth. It is generally believed that the name was originally given to a fifth child, a fifth son, or a fifth daughter. However, it has also been argued that Quintus and the other praenomina of this type could refer to the month of the year in which a child was born. It may be that such names were given for both reasons.
Quintus是拉丁文中的“第五。最初人们通常用它给家里的第五个孩子命名,男孩女孩都可以。不过也有人相信这类似的名字代表着孩子出生的月份。也许这个名字两种含义都有吧。
