Quarta

Quarta is a term that can refer to several related concepts, depending on the context. In Italian, quarta is the feminine form of the ordinal adjective quarto, meaning fourth. It is used to indicate position within a sequence when the noun is feminine, for example la quarta pagina (the fourth page) or la quarta settimana (the fourth week). The form derives from Latin quartus.

As a surname, Quarta is of Italian origin. It is borne by individuals and families, particularly in Italy and among people of Italian descent. Surnames like Quarta may have originated from a geographic, occupational, or descriptive source related to an ordinal or birth-related sense, but the precise etymology can vary by family.

In addition to language and genealogy, Quarta can appear in proper names, brand names, or cultural references where it functions as part of a multi-word name, depending on the language and context.

Because Quarta is not a single, universally defined topic, its intended meaning is usually clarified by context. If encountered in isolation, it is typically interpreted as either the feminine ordinal form of quarto in Italian or as a surname.
