Florence derives from the Latin name Florentius, which comes from the adjective "florens" meaning "blooming" or "flourishing." The name is rooted in the Latin verb "florere," meaning "to flower" or "to thrive." The name was used throughout Christian Europe from medieval times onward and became particularly associated with the Italian city of Florence; it gained prominence in English-speaking countries during the 19th century, notably through Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing.
