Etymology nb it Firenze Florence, from nb roa-oit Fiorenze Florence, ultimately from nb la Flōrentiae at Florence, the locative of la Flōrentia Florence. The change from pretonic fio- to fi- reflects a characteristic Florentine reduction. Forms of the modern type are attested in medieval Tuscany from the mid-thirteenth century, including Firençe (1255), Firenzzie (1287) and Firense (1304). The archaic and literary Italian form it Fiorenza Florence preserves the older initial diphthong. The Latin place name la Flōrentia Florence was formed from la flōrēns blooming, flourishing, the present participle of la flōreō to bloom, flourish, with the place-name suffix la -ia. The verb is related to la flōs flower, ultimately from nb ine-pro *bʰleh₃- to bloom. The name therefore means roughly “the flourishing city”.

Also compare sv Florens, de Florenz, en Florence, fr Florence, es Florencia, pt Florença, pl Florencja, ro Florența and ru Флоренция Florence, which continue the same Latin name through other routes.
