In the 13th century, records show the surname appearing as "Cecconi" in the town of Città di Castello in Umbria. It is believed to have originated as a nickname or a patronymic, referring to the sons or descendants of an individual named Cecco.

One of the earliest known mentions of the Cecconi surname is found in a document from 1327 in Siena, Tuscany, where a certain "Cecco di Vanni Cecconi" is referenced. This suggests the name had already been established in the region by that time.

In the 18th century, the Cecconi family produced a remarkable figure in the person of Giovanni Cecconi (1718-1792), a celebrated architect and engineer from Florence. He designed numerous prestigious buildings in the city, including the Church of Santa Maria Maddalena de' Pazzi and the Palazzo Corsini al Parione.

The surname Cecconi also has a notable connection to the world of literature through the Italian writer and poet Eugenio Cecconi (1870-1933). Born in Arezzo, Tuscany, he is renowned for his works exploring the themes of nature and rural life in his native region.
