Quiglie is Irish in Origin.

Quiglie is a modern given-name adaptation of the Irish surname Quigley, itself an Anglicization of O'Coigligh ("descendant of Coigleach"). The personal name Coigleach has uncertain roots in Irish Gaelic; scholars link it to coigeal 'distaff,' yielding a sense of "spinner" or "one who works with the distaff," while folk etymology sometimes glosses it as "untidy" or "unruly." Bearers of O'Coigligh were found in Ulster, especially Donegal and Derry, and the surname spread widely in the English-speaking world.

Used as a given name from the late twentieth century, Quiglie fits the trend of transferring lively, surname-style names into unisex first names with playful -ie endings. Rarer than Quigley, it offers a softer look while preserving Irish heritage. Related forms and spellings include Quigley, Quigly, Quiglie, and the clipped nickname Quig. Meanings attached to the name often emphasize industrious craft ("spinner") or spirited character ("lively; unruly").
