I am trying to get the monitor name of my secondary monitors using xrandr -q. I am able to get the primary using xrandr -q | awk '/primary/{print $1}', but I also want to get the secondary monitors. I have tried xrandr -q | awk '/ connected/{print $1}', but that also includes the primary. Is there a way that I can do a combo of these two commands (but the first in reverse), where it will show all with "connected" and exclude the one with "primary".

Yes, in awk you can combine conditions using logical operators && || !
Ex.
xrandr | awk '/ connected/ && !/primary/'
