Last name origin & meaning:
Spanish and Asturian-Leonese (Quiñones): habitational name from any of the places named Quiñones, in Lleón, and Murcia provinces, so named from quiñón (Latin quinio ‘group of five’, genitive quinionis, a derivative of quinque ‘five’), denoting a piece of land that was shared out among a group of five co-tenants for sowing.
