History & Origin

Florice is a floral coinage in the Flora and Florence family, all tracing to the Latin flos, 'flower'. Names in this cluster blossomed in the late Victorian and Edwardian years, when flower-inspired names for girls were at their height, and Florice was one of the rarer, prettier offshoots.

It never gathered a crowd, reaching only a couple dozen girls a year at its high around 1924 and thinning out by the nineteen-sixties. A girl named Florice then would be of a great-grandmother's generation now, and the name reads as a delicate period piece.

Did you know? Florice belongs to a whole bouquet of early-1900s flower names, sharing its Latin 'flower' root with Flora, Florence, Florine and Floris.
