Florencia Forename Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A female name. Latin Florentia f. of Florentius (see man’s name), Florence was used in the Middle Ages about equally as a man’s and a woman’s name, but whereas it died out as a man’s it survived in use as a woman’s name, e.g. Florence Vavzor 1621, and Florence Dombey in Dickens’s Dombey and Son (1846-8). But it was rare until it was given a fresh impetus by the fame of Florence Nightingale (1820-1912), who herself received the name because she was born in Florence. In the later part of the 19th C it became very common and was often shortened to Florrie, Flo or Flossie.

Florentia Curia Regis Rolls 1196-1219. Florencia Feudal Aids 1346. Florence Close Rolls 1378, Lyford 1655.
