Origin: Latin

Meaning: Flowering, blooming

Your little flower child deserves a name to help them blossom! Flory is a feminine name of Latin origin, meaning “flowering” or “blooming.” Flory derives from the root word flōs, and will certainly help baby embrace their inner tree hugger. Flory has been seen both as a nickname for Florence or Flora and as a surname that originated from Somerset, England, but we think that it works well as a given name in its own right. And baby Flor will be in good, abundant company with Bosian-American guitarist Flory Jagoda and Nobel-prize-winning chemist Paul Flory.
