Quincy

Quincy is a masculine name.
Not every male name needs to be slapped on a girl these days. Let the boys have their share too.
Very handsome boy name.
It means fifth son.

Quincy is a strong name with historical roots to the Founding Fathers; John Quincy Adams. There are many places in the New England Area named after him. The city of Quincy (waterfront town 10 minutes south of Boston), the famous Quincy Market at Faneuil Hall, etc. This name has a very classic, but at the same time modern feel with the "-ee" sound at the end. It may be a little too much to use as a first name if you live in Massachusetts due to the references to landmarks and towns (you'll be asked if you're named after the town constantly), but would be quite nice for a middle name. Other areas of the country/world would work better as it would be more associated with the historical past. I personally see this as primarily a male name, but it could also work as a female name due to the -ee sound.

As far as I can tell, the French place name from which the surname of Quincy is derived - namely, Cuinchy - was originally called Quintiacum in Latin, not Quintacum.

As a result, the place name may not have been directly derived from Quintus, but from the name Quintius (which itself is ultimately derived from Quintus). This seems feasible, if you also look at the forms of Quintius in other languages:

---

- Quincio (Spanish)
- Quincío (Portuguese)
- Quinzio (Italian)

(see https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quinzio)

The French form of the name should be Quince (or perhaps even Quincy), seeing as Latin names ending in -tius usually become -ce in French. However, I can't find much evidence of the French form so far.

Either way, it might be worth considering that the name Quintius might have been involved along the way of derivation for the (sur)name Quincy. [noted -ed]
