The earliest known record of the surname Kwiecinski can be found in the parish records of the village of Niezdara, near the city of Kartuzy, in the Pomeranian Voivodeship. The entry, dated 1592, mentions a certain Jan Kwiecinski, who was likely one of the first bearers of this surname.

The 18th century saw the Kwiecinski name spread to other parts of Poland, with records showing families bearing this surname in the regions of Greater Poland and Silesia. A prominent individual from this era was Józef Kwiecinski, a scholar and writer born in 1760 in Poznań, who contributed to the development of Polish literature and education.

In the 19th century, the Kwiecinski name gained further recognition with the birth of Władysław Kwiecinski (1837-1912), a renowned Polish painter and art professor who studied in various European cities and influenced the development of Polish art education.
