Queries

Meaning

This is not a conventional given name in the excerpts; it appears as the journal/title word “Queries,” from English “query,” meaning a question or inquiry. The material shown uses it in reference to “Notes and Queries,” not as a personal name with an established etymology.

Origin

Fun fact

In the excerpted 19th-century material, “Queries” shows up as a publication title abbreviation rather than a name people were actually given.
