Origin: Latin

Meaning: Flowers; Blossoming

Floy is a feminine name of Latin origin, with its root meaning being “flowers” and “blossoming.” As the shortened form of the name Florence, its etymology is generally traced back to Flora, the mythological Roman goddess of flowers, or Floralia, the week-long festival held in honor of her. The city of Florence is also believed to share the same origin story. So if the capital of the Renaissance has had a deep-seated significance in your life, Floy works well—especially if you don’t want a geographical name for baby, but something reminiscent of the same!
