History & Origin
Quinleigh is a modern American blend, built from two real pieces. Quinn descends from the Irish surname O Cuinn, 'descendant of Conn', where conn carries the sense of 'chief' or 'wisdom'; the -leigh ending comes from Old English leah, 'clearing; wood', and has become one of the most fashionable finishes in current naming. The blend itself is new, though its parts are old (said 'KWIN-lee').
It appears only rarely in U.S. records. Rare, blended, and current.
