Unique Name

[qgolling]

Hello all. forgive my ignorance, but, all I've been able to gather from my attempts @ Latinizing my name that there is no equivalent for the name Quinn, other than to add -ius. Same problem with my last name 'Golling', my middle name, 'Daniel' is a bit easier. 'Quinn' is Irish in etymology. 'Golling' is German. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I think Cuinnius in Latin was formerly preferred to Quinnius, Quinn.
Cuinnius ut nomen anteà praeferendum erat, Cuinni, ut credo.

[adrianus]

Leaving Golling alone is OK, unless you can find a good precedent, and here you have one, with Gollingius [maybe an ancestor of yours]:
Non mutandum cognomen novum nisi exemplum habes et hîc habes quidem, ut Gollingius [forsit avus].
Exempli gratiâ:
