Florentijn is the Dutch masculine form rooted in Medieval Latin Florentinus/Florentius, ultimately from Latin florens, meaning blooming or flourishing. As an adjectival noun in Latin, Florentinus also meant Florentine or from Florentia (Florence), so the name carries both a virtue sense and a toponymic association.

Documented in the Low Countries since medieval charters and parish records, Florentijn has stayed uncommon yet recognizable, with periodic revivals; the spread of saints named Florentinus/Florentius in late antiquity helped establish the family across Europe. A modern cultural bearer is Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman.
