Quinn History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

The Irish name Quinn was originally written in a Gaelic form as Ó Cuinn, which means descendant of Conn.

Early Origins of the Quinn family

The surname Quinn was first found in county Longford (Irish: An Longfort) traditionally known as Annaly or Teffia, and situated in the Irish Midlands, in Northwest Leinster where they were Lords of Muintir Gillagain. The O’Quinns and MacQuinns (and all of the spelling variables derived from these) were descended from Conn, who in turn was descended from the Princes of Annaly.
