History & Origin

Floriana is a feminine form of the Latin name Florianus, from flos, floris ('flower'), and carries the sense 'flowering' or 'of flowers.' The masculine Florian belonged to a Roman soldier venerated as a saint and remained popular across central Europe; the feminine form took root in Italian, Romanian and Maltese use. Floriana is also a town beside Valletta in Malta, named for a seventeenth-century engineer. It is a warm, blossoming four-beat name (said 'flor-ee-AH-nah').

In the U.S. it appears only in very small numbers. Rare here, familiar in Italy and Romania.

Did you know? Floriana grows from the Latin flos, 'flower' - the same root behind flora, florist and flourish - and it is also the name of a town just outside Valletta in Malta.
