Quinnie, a name of Irish origin, is derived from the Irish word "cú", meaning "hound" or "dog". It was traditionally used as a nickname for someone who had the characteristics of a dog, such as being loyal and faithful. The name gained popularity in English-speaking countries during the 19th century, often used as a pet name or diminutive of names like Quinn. Today, Quinnie is still occasionally used as a given name but is more commonly seen as a nickname for those named Quinn. It's also worth noting that the name has been popularized by characters in pop culture, such as Quinn Fabray from the television series "Glee".
