Florance, of Latin origin, means 'flourishing' or 'prosperous'. It is a feminine given name that has been used throughout history, but its usage has been relatively uncommon compared to other names. The name Florance may have been more popular during the Middle Ages and Renaissance periods, as it was often associated with the Italian city of Florence and its famous families like the Medici. Today, however, it is not as widely known or used, making those who bear this name somewhat unique.
The name Florance experienced significant fluctuations in popularity over the period from 1880 to 2015. With a total of 1672 births recorded during this time, its peak occurred in 1917 with 50 births. However, the majority of years saw fewer than 30 births, and since the mid-20th century, it has become quite rare, with most years recording single-digit numbers or even just one birth. The most recent data point, from 2015, indicates that Florance is now almost entirely out of fashion, with only five babies being named Florance in that year.
