English (of Norman origin): habitational name from any of several
places in France deriving their names from the Gallo-Roman personal
name Quintus, meaning ‘fifth(-born)’ + the locative suffix
-acum. The earliest bearers of the name in England were from
Cuinchy in Pas-de-Calais, but other stocks may be from
Quincy-sous-Sénard in Seine-et-Oise or Quincy-Voisins in
Seine-et-Marne.
