Quincey

Quincey as a feminine name represents an adaptation of what was traditionally a surname and masculine given name. It derives from the Latin name 'Quintus,' meaning 'fifth,' originally denoting a fifth-born child. The spelling variation with 'ey' rather than the more common 'Quincy' gives it a softer, more feminine appearance. While more frequently used for boys throughout history, Quincey has gained some traction as a gender-neutral option in recent decades. For girls, it carries a contemporary, distinctive quality while maintaining connections to historical naming traditions. Parents might choose Quincey for its sophisticated sound, literary associations, and modern unisex appeal.

As of October 2026, Quincey ranked #3891 in US births in 2025 SSA.
