What Does the Name Florin Mean?
Florin means "little flower" and is a Romanian masculine name derived from the Latin name Florinus, a diminutive of Florus. Florus comes from Latin flos, florem, "flower," and the diminutive ending of Florinus gives the name its "little" sense.
Florin Name History & Origins
The Latin name Florinus was a diminutive of Florus, a Roman name. Florinus was borne by Saint Florinus of Remüs, a ninth-century priest venerated in the Alpine region, and the name remained in Christian use. In Romanian, the masculine given name Florin developed from this Latin name; it is used in Romania and Moldova. A feminine form, Florina, also exists.
Florin is also the Romanian word for a florin coin, but that usage is a separate borrowing. The medieval Florentine gold florin took its name from the lily (fiore) on the coin, and the coin name spread through European trade. The personal name and the coin word share the Latin flower root, but the coin did not produce the given name.
