It derives from Old Norse kvenna ("women") + by ("farm, settlement"), yielding the sense "women's farm/estate." Contact with Old English cwen ("woman, queen") has colored later interpretations, so some read the name as "queen's farm." The place-name survives in Leicestershire (e.g., Quenby Hall), and the -by ending is a hallmark of Scandinavian settlement across northern and eastern England.
