Quigli is Irish in Origin.

Quigli is a modern given-name spin on Quigley, an Irish surname. Quigley derives from the Gaelic O Coigligh (also seen as O Coighligh), meaning "descendant of Coigleach," a medieval byname. The surname was long established in Ulster and northwest Ireland and later spread through emigration to Britain and North America. Like many surnames, it began appearing as a first name in the late 20th century; Quigli represents a streamlined, playful variant suited to contemporary tastes and works for any gender.

The precise sense of Coigleach is debated, with scholarly glosses ranging from "clerical/priestly" to a descriptive nickname; as a given name, Quigli carries the broader sense of Irish heritage and spirited individuality. Related forms and variants include Quigley, Quigly, O'Quigley, Quiggly, and the nickname Quig. Parents sometimes pair it with other Q-names such as Quincy or Quinn for sibling sets.
