Antica famiglia veneta, di chiara ed avita virtù, propagatasi, nel corso dei secoli, in diverse regioni d'Italia. L'origine di tal cognominizzazione, al dir di illustri genealogisti, andrebbe ricercata in un soprannome, basatosi sul verbo veneto "sponciàr" (= punzecchiare), probabilmente, dato, per via di alcune inclinazione caratteriali, ad un, oggi ignoto, capostipite. In ogni modo, tal casato, verosimilmente, venne fregiato del cavalierato, in seguito alla partecipazione, connotata da coraggio ed onore, sotto i vessilli della Santa Lega, di un Pietro Sponchia, al celebre fatto d'armi della Battaglia di Lepanto, del 1571. Ma, d'altronde, la famiglia, sempre, riuscì a distinguersi, grazie agli elevati personaggi, a cui diede i natali. Tra questi, ricordiamo: Raimondo, ambasciatore a Carlo V, in Modena, nel 1529; Antonio, vice-provveditore in Padova, vivente nel 1557; Giacomo, ambasciatore ordinario della Repubblica Veneta, vivente nel 1582; Cav. Marino, consigliere del Veneto Senato, vivente in Venezia, nel 1666; P. Rodolfo, dell'Ordine dei
