History & Origin

Quinci is a modern respelling of Quincy, an English surname from Norman French place-names such as Cuinchy, built in turn on a Roman personal name. The Quincy family of Massachusetts carried it into American life, and John Quincy Adams made it famous. As a first name it is given to boys more often than girls, and to girls it reads as a surname-style pick; families should know that lean, which we note plainly (said 'KWIN-see').

For girls it is very rare in the U.S., against heavier use for boys. Crisp, surname-style, and modern.

Did you know? Quincy came to England with the Normans as a place-name surname, and reached American ears through the Quincys of Massachusetts — and President John Quincy Adams. Quinci is a modern spelling of it, and it leans male, which we note (said 'KWIN-see').
