Quincey is English in Origin.
Quincey is an English given name derived from the Norman French surname and place-name Quincy, ultimately from the Gallo-Roman Quintus + -acum, meaning "estate of Quintus." As a surname it entered England after the Conquest and was borne by the powerful de Quincy family; Saer de Quincy, 1st Earl of Winchester, was a Magna Carta baron. Thus the core sense links to a Roman personal name ("the fifth-born") and to a landed estate.
Used as a given name in the English-speaking world from the 18th century, it gained wider notice through President John Quincy Adams. The Quincey spelling is a long-standing variant of Quincy and reads as stylish and unisex today. Short forms include Quin and Quinn. Related spellings and diminutives: Quincy, Quinci, Quincee, Quincie, Quinsey, and Quinzey. Overall, Quincey carries an Old World pedigree with a sleek modern sound.
