Meaning and background
The story behind Quinones
Quinones represents unaccented Spanish Quiñones. The Dictionary of American Family Names identifies a habitational surname from places in León and Murcia and explains the underlying term through land shared among five co-tenants for cultivation. That is a specific landholding and place-name history, rather than simply a name meaning five. The original tilde and a family's records remain useful for pronunciation and the precise geographical connection.
