Quimby

Quimby is a surname derived from Norse mythology. The meaning of Quimby is ‘estate of woman’. The surname Quimby was first found in Leicestershire. After the Battle of Hastings in 1066, William, Duke of Normandy, having prevailed over King Harold, granted most of Britain to his many victorious Barons. These he gave to his sons, nephews, and other younger generations in his family. They then became under-tenants. After many rebellious wars between his Barons, Duke William commissioned a census of all of England in 1086 to determine everyone's land holdings. He called the census the ‘Domesday Book’. The surname descended from the tenant of the lands of Quenby, held by Richard from Robert de Tosny or Tonei, the chief tenant, who was recorded in the ‘Domesday Book’ census of 1086. It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, Anglo-Norman surnames like Quimby are characterized by many spelling variations. Notable people with this surname include Darius Quimby, the first American law enforcement officer killed in the line of duty, and Edith Quimby, an American medical researcher and physicist.
