One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname KONECHNE can be found in a 14th-century manuscript from the town of Kutná Hora, where a certain Jan KONECHNE was mentioned as a landowner. In the 15th century, the name appeared in various records from the region of Bohemia, particularly in the towns of Plzeň and Rakovník.

In the 17th century, the KONECHNE family was known to have resided in the village of Lipnice nad Sázavou, where they owned a brewery and several farmlands. One member of the family, Václav KONECHNE (1632-1701), became a respected local figure and served as the mayor of the village for several years.

As the KONECHNE surname spread across Central Europe, it also appeared in different spellings, such as KONEČNÝ and KONETZNY.
