The history of the last name Quinci

The surname QUINCI originates from the French region of Normandy, tracing its roots back to the 12th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old French word "quinci," meaning "from where," suggesting that the original bearers of this name may have been immigrants or travelers.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the QUINCI name can be found in the Domesday Book, a comprehensive record of landowners and their holdings commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. This historical document lists a certain Saher de Quinci as a landowner in several counties, including Leicestershire and Northamptonshire.

During the 13th century, the QUINCI family gained prominence and held significant influence in England. Robert de Quinci (c. 1192 - 1264) was an English nobleman who served as Lord Chancellor of England from 1233 to 1236 under King Henry III. He was also involved in the negotiation of the Magna Carta, a landmark document that established principles of freedom and limited the power of the monarch.

Another notable figure with the QUINCI surname was Margaret de Quinci (c. 1218 - 1280), who inherited vast estates and lands in several counties, including Leicestershire, Northamptonshire, and Buckinghamshire. She was married to William de Ferrers, Earl of Derby, and their union further solidified the QUINCI family's status and wealth.

In the 14th century, the QUINCI name appeared in various records across England, including the Hundred Rolls, which documented landholdings and tax assessments. One such record mentions a certain John de Quinci, who held lands in Oxfordshire during this period.

Towards the end of the Middle Ages, the QUINCI surname began to diversify in spelling, with variations such as Quincy, Quincey, and Quince emerging. One notable figure from this era was Thomas Quincey (c. 1405 - 1470), an English knight and landowner who served as a member of the Privy Council under King Henry VI.

Over the centuries, the QUINCI surname has been associated with various place names, including Quincy in Normandy, France, and Quincy, Massachusetts, in the United States. The latter town was named after Colonel John Quincy, who was granted a land charter in the area in 1625.
