Quinci Coat of Arms and Surname Origin

Whether you spell it Quinci or Quincy, the story begins in the same place. Read literally, Quinci points to “Someone who came from Quincay, formerly Quinci (Quintus' estate)”.

Spelled with “i” instead of “y”, Quinci shows how the same name was heard and written differently. Local scribes, dialects and emigration all left their mark on how the name was written.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Quinci, so the heraldry linked to Quincy is a starting point, not an automatic right. For the full story, order the Quinci surname pack.
