Significado
Latín, BiblicalRoman family name. The family had Samnite roots so the name probably originated from the Oscan language, likely meaning fifth (a cognate of Latín Quintus). Alternatively, it could be derived from the name of the ancient province of Pontus in Asia Minor, itself probably from Griego ποντος (pontos) sea. A notable bearer of this name was Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor of Judea who appears in the New Testament.
