| '''Quincy''' (/ˈkwɪnzi/''KWIN-zee''), officially the '''United Commonwealth of Quincy''' ''({{wpl|French language|French}}: Comunauté Uni du Quincey),'' is a state of [[Baccalearum|Baccalearum]] comprised of 5 regions in New England. It is bordered to the north and northeast by the State of [[State of Québéc (Shattered America)|Quėbec]], and to the south and southwest by the State of [[Connecticut (Shattered America)|Connecticut]], Haudenosaunee State, and New York.
| |
| | |
| = Etymology =
| |
| It is unknown exactly where the name Quincy originated, but the most commonly and historically accepted origin is that it comes from the former French North American colony of Quincey, an archaic form of the word. The area applied to the word, however, has shifted much more southwards than it originally was intended, as it once meant the area around Montreal and Quebec City, whereas post-Revolutionary War it was applied to Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Rhodes. The word fell out of use from 1763-1785, but it picked up relevance again that year and was adopted as the name of the now-United Commonwealth of Quincy.
| |
| | |
| == Theories Around Its Original Meaning ==
| |
| Quincy as a name originates in the Latin term "Quintus", or Fifth-Born. The connection to this meaning is rather hotly debated among Quincois etymologists, but no concrete or overall opinion exists as to how the connection could play into any majorly significant meaning. Despite this, some persist with theories, a few of which, delve into more conspiratorial elements.
| |
| | |
| === Conspiracies ===
| |
| There are two very well known conspiracies that have circulated around the origin of the name of Quincy, one being that the name originates from a Viking name, ''"Fimmtibarn"'', or Fifth-born, a literal translation of the name of Quincy from Latin. This suggestion has, however, received no genuine trend since the mid-1800s, as it lacks virtually any holding in historical truth.
| |
| | |
| The second theory, however, has a much higher number of proponents. The theory goes that, during the Crusades, Emperor Henry VI (April 14 1191-September 28 1197) of the Holy Roman Empire, in a conversation with his advisors, spoke the words ''"Vunf naht, vunf naht har din geben tau werdan."'' ("Five nights, five nights you have to born."), of which many attribute the portmanteau '''Vunfwerdan''' as an incredibly early form of the word Quincy. However, in recent years, fact checks and genuine delves into historical records of Henry VI have turned up nothing of this quote ever having been attributed to him.
