Place name
The place name appears for the first time as Quiebouc in 1056. Other spellings of the place name were Quiebuc (1146), Quibuc (1252), Kiboc (1260), Kuiboc (1274) and again Quiebouc (1349).
There are two hypotheses about the origins of the name:
- Word formation from Anglo-Saxon Ceap for cattle market and Holt for hill , which in Normandy soon as a synonym for hut stood
- Development from the French chie le bouc , which means something like the place where the goat shits
