GenUKI The
parish was originally known as Sanquhar or Sanchar (from the Gaelic "sean"
= old and "coer" = fort). There are still farms with this name in the
district. The present name of St. Quivox is believed to have been derived
from 'Santa Kennocha Virgo in Coila" (a female personage of some local
note, who lived in the reign of Malcolm II ). It has been found spelt as
St. Kevock, St Kenochis, St. Cavocks and St. Evox. The latter could be
found on local milestones until a few years ago....>
