Flora is a Latin name derived from the word 'flos', meaning 'flower'. It has been used since ancient Roman times to refer to the goddess of flowers, spring, and fertility.
In Roman mythology, Flora was celebrated as the patron deity of flowering plants, and her feast day is still observed on May 13th. The name also appears in various European cultures and languages.
People named Flora are often seen as gentle, creative, and nurturing with a deep connection to nature and its rhythms.
The name Flora remains popular globally, particularly in the UK, US, and Australia, where it's often given to girls born during springtime or with a floral theme.
