Get the e.quaintance mug.The surname Quaintance is of French/Libyan origins. Quaintance means 'Son of the Skinny calves man'.
The first documented use of the surname was in the North Western costal areas of Libya, which had originally been settled by French explorers. The surname was common amongst the Ceehait (pronounced 'Sea-Hat') tribe which operated in the region. The most famous of the Ceehaits was Skreemer Quaintance who conducted numerous fishing raids into the territorial waters of Tunisia, however he was later to die of an unidentified illness, described in Arabic as 'Duef Aljism', roughly translated this means 'Weak body' or 'The weakness of the body'.
In modern day France the surname Quaintance is very rare, though it can still be found to be used on the Southern coast, mainly in the port city of Marseille. Throughout France the word 'Quaintance' is now commonly used to describe the beard of a fully grown man that is feminine or 'Hipster' in appearance.
