History & Origin

Florrie is a warm short form of Florence and Flora, from Latin flos, floris, 'flower,' and florens, 'flourishing.' In the late Victorian and Edwardian years parents loved bright -ie nicknames, and Florrie was registered as a full first name in that spirit.

Florrie crested in the early nineteen-twenties before the formal Florence and other fashions drew parents on. A Florrie from its peak would be a great-grandmother today; the name carries a lace-and-lavender vintage sweetness that fits the current revival of old nicknames.

Did you know? Florence, behind Florrie, honored the Italian city and the pioneering nurse Florence Nightingale, whose fame helped make the flowery name and its cuddly short form beloved in the early nineteen-hundreds.
