History & Origin
Dequincy is one of many names formed by fixing the fashionable De- opening onto a recognizable base, here the crisp Quincy. It surfaced only lightly in the record, reaching a small high around 1992.
The name was never common, given to only about twenty boys a year at most, and its brief run tapered off soon after. A boy named Dequincy at that peak would be in his mid-thirties today. It reads as an inventive, of-its-era choice with a confident sound.
