Quynby is English in Origin.

Quynby is a contemporary respelling of the English surname-given name Quinby/Quenby/Quimby. These surnames trace to medieval English place-names of Scandinavian origin, formed with Old Norse byr "farm, settlement" and the element kvenna "women," yielding a sense of "women's estate" or "women's farm." The -by ending is common in areas of Viking influence across northern and eastern England, and early records show forms like Quenebi in the Domesday Book.

Used mostly as a surname in Britain and later in North America, the name has seen rare, modern first-name use since the late 20th century, typically as a unisex choice. Variants include Quinby, Quenby, Quimby, and Qwinby; short forms can be Quin/Quinn or Bee. Some modern interpretations market the meaning as "queen's settlement," influenced by sound, though the historical root is "women's farm."
