What Quincy means

Where Quincy comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.

Quincy begins with a Latin number. The root is Quintus, the Roman name given to a fifth child, and it means fifth-born. Roman families counted their children in order, and Quintus marked the fifth arrival.

From Quintus grew a place name in France, an estate once held by a man of that name. The Normans carried it to England, where it became a surname and later a given name. Its strongest bearer is documented. John Quincy Adams, sixth president of the United States, took his middle name from his great-grandfather John Quincy.

In Poland the name stays rare and clearly foreign. A teacher reading a class register might pause before it. The meaning survives any accent: piąty, the fifth.
