Meaning & Origin of Florin
Meaning: Flowering, blooming.
Origin: Romanian (from Latin Florus, same root as Florian).
A common claim: Sometimes associated with 'florin', the historical European gold coin, though as a given name it's understood as the Romanian form of Florian/Florus. Actually: The coin and the given name share a distant common root via Latin florens, but Florin isn't literally 'named after money' — as a Romanian given name it's a cognate of Florian, from flos 'flower'.
