Meaning: Unknown; Women's farmstead village; Queen's settlement

Quinbie is a feminine name inspired by the British place name Quenby, which predates the Norman Conquest of 1066. While some suggest Quinbie’s meaning to be “queen’s settlement,” the etymological evidence to back this is elusive. Quenby might come from the Old Scandinavian kvenna and bȳ, meaning “women’s farmstead village.” Regardless of Quinbie’s mysterious origins, there’s no denying its uplifting chime and sweet appeal—the cherry on top of your adorable new arrival.
