wiktionary
Borrowed from French Florence, from Latin Flōrentia (as a given name, a feminine form of Flōrentius), from flōrens(“flowering, flourishing”), from flōs(“flower”), connected with English bloom and blossom.
The female given name gained popularity from Florence Nightingale who was born in the Tuscan city.
etymonline
Florence
chief city of Tuscany, also a fem. proper name, both from Latin Florentia, fem. of Florentius, literally "blooming," from florens (genitive florentis), present participle of florere "to flower" (see flourish). The city name is from Roman Colonia Florentia, "flowering colony," either literal or figurative, and became Old Italian Fiorenze, modern Italian Firenze.
