Meaning & Origin
A surname.
Quin is a boy's and girl's baby name of Irish origin, an anglicization of the Gaelic surname Ó Cuinn, meaning 'descendant of Conn' — with Conn possibly meaning 'sense,' 'reason,' or 'chief.'
Quin is the streamlined, masculine version of Quinn — sharing all the Celtic energy of that popular name while feeling slightly more minimalist and rare. With the -n ending and crisp Q opening, it reads as confident and clean. It's equally effective as a full name or a nickname for Quinton or Quinlan, giving it useful flexibility.
