Quinn

Quinn is a single clean syllable that feels like the answer to a question. It comes from the Irish Ó Cuinn, descendant of Conn, the root Conn meaning chief or wise. Originally a surname, it drifted into first-name use for boys and then pivoted sharply toward girls in the wake of Glee's Quinn Fabray, becoming one of the most genuinely unisex names on the American charts. It now sits around the top 96, chosen for boys and girls in roughly comparable numbers. The name reads as smart, spare, slightly tomboy-elegant, the kind of single-word signature that looks right in a monogram or at the top of a novel.
