What is the meaning of the name quinne ?

The baby name quinne is a Unisex name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /kwɪn/ (KWIN).

quinne is Irish in Origin.

Quinne is a modern elaboration of Quinn, the Anglicized Irish surname Ó Cuinn meaning “descendant of Conn.” Conn is an ancient Gaelic personal name, possibly from Old Irish cond “intellect” or ceann “head, chief,” yielding senses like “leader” and “wisdom.” The implied meanings for Quinne therefore include “of the chief,” “wise,” or “intelligent,” while keeping the crisp one-syllable sound (pronounced KWIN).

As a given name, Quinn migrated from surname use in the Anglophone world during the 20th century and became firmly unisex by the 1990s, aided by pop culture visibility. Quinne appears later as a rare, stylistic -e spelling often favored for a softer or more traditionally feminine look. Common variants and related forms include Quinn, Quin, Quynn; broader kin are Conn, Conor/Connor, and the surname Quinlan. Though less common than Quinn, Quinne shares its Irish heritage and modern, streamlined appeal.
