Attested as a family name from the late medieval period, Fiorelli became widely recognized through figures such as Giuseppe Fiorelli, the 19th-century director of the Pompeii excavations. As a given name it remains uncommon in Italy but is emerging in English-speaking and Italian-diaspora circles, fitting the trend of nature-inspired, surname-style choices. Usable as unisex, it offers nicknames like Fio, Elle, Eli, or Relli, and subtly nods to Florence (Firenze), whose emblem is the lily.
