Origin: A borrowing from early Scandinavian.

Etymology: < early Scandinavian (compare Old Icelandic kvíga , Norwegian kvige , Old Swedish qvigha (Swedish kviga ), early modern Danish qwie , queye , qweghe (Danish kvie , †kvige )), further etymology uncertain: probably ultimately < the same Scandinavian base as Old Icelandic kýr cow n.¹ In Orkney and Shetland use perhaps via the unattested Norn reflex of the early Scandinavian word represented by the Scandinavian forms listed above.In early use sometimes unchanged in the plural. With quey calf n. compare Old Icelandic kvígu-kalfr, Old Swedish qvigho kalver (Swedish kvig-kalv), Danish kviekalv. The evidence of spelling and pronunciation suggests that alongside forms with Middle English long ī (giving rise to the now usual pronunciation /kwaɪ/) there existed a by-form with a lowered vowel ē (compare the early modern Danish forms queye, qweghe), which in combination with the following palatal glide gave rise to the pronunciations /kweɪ/, /kwiː/ (compare A. J. Aitken & C. Macafee Older Scots Vowels (2002) §6.3.2). Earliest attested in a surname.

Now Scottish, English regional (north midlands and northern), and Irish English (northern).

A young cow, esp. (formerly always) before it has had a calf; a heifer.Earliest in quey herd n. at Compounds (as surname).
