Quinsy Origin and Meaning

The name Quinsy is a boy's name.

Quinsy is a masculine name with potential origins as an anglicized variation of the French name Quincy, derived from the Roman clan name 'Quintius' meaning 'fifth.' Alternatively, it might be associated with the medical term for a throat abscess, though this connection is unlikely intentional in naming practices. Quinsy has remained quite rare as a given name throughout history, maintaining an air of distinction and uniqueness. The name has a contemporary sound despite its historical roots, with the 'sy' ending giving it a modern flair. While uncommon, it shares phonetic elements with more popular names like Quinn and Quincy, making it recognizable yet distinctive for parents seeking an unusual name with familiar sounds.
