Fiorenza

Fiorenza is an Italian feminine given name derived from the Latin Florentia, itself built on the root flos (genitive floris), meaning flower. It is the Italian form of Florence, a name associated with the celebrated city of Florence (Firenze in Italian), which was itself named from the Latin. The name gained wide recognition through Florence Nightingale, though in its Italian form Fiorenza it retains a distinctly regional and medieval character. Related forms include Fiorenza's direct cognates Florence, Florencia, and Florença.
