Where does the name Quincy come from?
Behind the Name says Quincy comes from an English surname that was derived, via the place name Cuinchy, from the personal name Quintus, the Latin for “fifth.” It lists the name for both boys and girls. Wikipedia explains that the surname was formerly de Quincy and is Norman in origin, and that it may also be used as a given name. The sixth American president, John Quincy Adams, was born in the town of Quincy, Massachusetts, and both were named after his maternal great-grandfather John Quincy.
