Origins of Surname
Recorded as Quare, Quarrie, Quarry, and specifically in the Channel Islands as Queree, Querree, and Querie, there are three possible origins for this interesting surname. The first is Manx, from the Isle of Man, and a development of the Gaelic MacGuaire, an Old Gaelic personal name "Gaurio", which is akin to the Greek "gauros", both having the identical meaning of noble, or proud.
The second and most likely is Norman French, and nickname for a thickset, or portly man and derives from the word quare, meaning square-shaped, and the third that it was topographical and described someone who lived near a stone quarry or was occupational for one who worked in one. This is from the word quarey, meaning dressed stone.
The first record of the name is that of Henry de la Quarrere. This was dated 1279, in the Hundred Rolls of Oxfordshire, during the reign of King Edward I.
