Where the name comes from

  • Spanish
    Flowers; or a form of the patronymic Flórez
    Spanish flor "flower" < Latin flos, floris
    DAFN gives three senses: (1) "Spanish: variant of Flórez (see Florez) under the influence of flores ‘flowers’," so originally a patronymic reshaped by the word for flowers; (2) a Portuguese cognate of Flórez; (3) "Spanish and Portuguese: byname or nickname from the plural of flor ‘flower’." A given family may descend from either line.
