The surname Accime is of Italian origin, with its earliest known roots dating back to the 13th century in the region of Tuscany. It is believed to have derived from the Latin word "accipio", meaning "to receive" or "to accept". This suggests that the name may have been initially associated with a person who held a position of authority or was responsible for receiving or accepting payments or tributes.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Accime can be found in the historic Florentine tax records from the year 1298, where a certain Giulio Accime is listed as a landowner in the town of Siena.

In the 16th century, the Accime name gained further prominence with the birth of Pietro Accime (1510-1585), a prominent clergyman who served as a personal advisor to Pope Pius V and played a significant role in the Counter-Reformation movement.

Another historical figure bearing the Accime name was Lucrezia Accime (1570-1642), a renowned poet and intellectual who was part of the esteemed literary circles of her time and was known for her sonnets and odes.

In the 18th century, the Accime family produced a prominent military leader, General Francesco Accime (1720-1795), who served in the Napoleonic Wars and was awarded numerous honors for his bravery and strategic skills on the battlefield.
