Florence is an English, Italian or French given name for girls. It is derived from the Latin verb floreo, meaning "to flower", in the sense of a blossom. The name is also derived from the Italian city Firenze, or Florence, in English. A notable Florence was Florence Nightingale, who was a nurse in British hospitals during the Crimean War and is usually considered the founder of modern nursing.
