The history of the last name Konicki

The surname KONICKI originated in Poland. It likely stems from the Polish word "konik" which means "little horse" or "pony." This suggests the name may have initially been an occupational surname for someone who worked with horses or ponies.

The earliest known record of the KONICKI surname dates back to the 16th century in the town of Konicki, located in the Masovian Voivodeship of central Poland. It's possible the name derived from this place name, with people taking on the surname based on where they lived or were from.

In the 17th century, the Polish nobleman and military leader Stanisław Konicki fought in the Polish-Swedish wars and became a prominent figure. He was born in 1590 and died in 1646. This early notable bearer of the name helped establish its prominence in Poland.

Examples include Jan Konicki, a farmer born in 1732 in the village of Konicki, and Zofia Konicka, born in 1801 in the nearby town of Kozienice.
