The story behind the name
Meet Quincy.
Quirky in the way that all Q names are quirky, Quincy was once a buttoned-up, patrician New England name, an image countered in recent years by the talented and ultracool musician Quincy Jones (middle name: Delight; nickname: Q).
The popularity of Quinn may have inspired the rise of Quincy for girls, but the two names have different roots. Quinn is an Irish surname while Quincy is one of several names drawn from the Latin word for the number five.
