Florencio is Latin in Origin.

Florencio is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Latin Florentius, from florens “blooming, flourishing,” rooted in florere “to flower.” The name shares ancestry with the Roman toponym Florentia (later Florence), reinforcing associations of vitality and prosperity. It appears in early Christian martyrologies, borne by several bishops and monks across Gaul and Iberia, which helped entrench it in medieval parish records.

Long used in Spain and Portugal and carried to Latin America and the Philippines, Florencio enjoyed steady favor in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and is now a vintage, seldom-chosen classic. Notable bearers include Uruguayan playwright Florencio Sánchez and Argentine writer-politician Florencio Varela. Common short forms are Floro and Floren. Variants and cognates include Portuguese Florêncio, Italian Fiorenzo, French Florent and Florentin, and Spanish Florentino; feminine counterparts are Florencia/Florência and the English/French Florence and Italian Fiorenza.
