Quinnlee

Meaning of Quinnlee

Quinnlee (pronounced kwin-LEE, /kwɪnˈli/) is a modern feminine name that blends the Irish surname Quinn—“descendant of Conn”—with the Old English Lee, meaning “meadow” or “clearing.” Its etymology combines Celtic heritage with Anglo-American naming patterns, yielding a two-syllable form that feels both familiar and refreshed. First recorded in US birth data in 2013 with just five occurrences, it steadily climbed into the national top 1,000 and peaked around rank 913 in 2022 before appearing eight times at rank 942 in 2024. The name conveys qualities of intelligence, openness, and understated resilience, appealing to parents who seek a bridge between tradition and contemporary sensibility. With its straightforward pronunciation and minimal risk of confusion—apart from occasional questions about the double “e” ending—Quinnlee stands as a quietly self-assured alternative to more conventional feminine names.
