A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

(English) belonging to Quarrington [As Quarrington, Bucks, was formerly Quarrendon, and Quarrington, Durham, formerly Queringdon (apparently for an earlier Querendon), these places prob. owe the first element of their name to the Old English cweorn or cwyrn, a hand-mill, with the second element Old English dún, a hill; but the Lincolnshire Quarrington occurs as Querinton, variantly Cuernintún (Old English tún, estate), in a Latin charter of the Confessor’s time which is, however, considered spurious]
