Florete is Spanish in Origin.

Florete is a rare given name, chiefly feminine, from the Romance flor- “flower” lineage, ultimately rooted in Latin flos, floris “flower, blossom.” The form likely arose in Iberian languages as a diminutive or affectionate variant parallel to Catalan Floreta and French Florette, conveying “little flower” or “floret.” In Spanish the noun florete names the fencing foil, but as a personal name Florete keeps the floral sense shared with Flora and Flor.

Usage is sporadic in the Iberian world and the Philippines, where Spanish naming left floral diminutives in church and civil records of the late 19th–20th centuries. It sits in the same family as Flora, Flor, Florita, Florinda, Floreta/Floretta, Florette, and Italian Fioretta and Fiora; related forms include French Fleur and Occitan Floret. Possible nicknames are Flo, Flor, and Lora. Cultural echoes include the Roman goddess Flora and the medieval Catalan name-bearer Floreta de Cervera.
