History & Origin
Flordia reached a small number of girls in the early twentieth century, with a quiet high around 1929. It almost certainly reworks Florida, a floral name from Latin floridus, with the letters rearranged as the name passed through spoken use and record-keeping.
It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year at its peak, and reads as a period variant rather than a separate name. A girl named Flordia then would be past a hundred today. Its floral roots give it a soft, spring-like feel.
