What is the meaning of the name Floriano ?

The baby name Floriano is a boy name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced floh-ree-AH-no.

Floriano is Italian, Latin, Portuguese in Origin.

Floriano is the Italian and Portuguese continuation of Latin Flōriānus, a Roman personal name and adjectival form built from Flōrius or Flōrus plus the relational suffix -ānus. The base belongs to Latin flōs, genitive flōris, flower; taken literally, Flōriānus signified of Florus, later understood as flowerlike or flowering.

The name’s historical profile rests chiefly on Saint Florian, Latin Florianus, a Roman soldier and martyr of the early fourth century, later patron of firefighters and prominent in Austrian, Bavarian, and Polish devotion. Floriano appears in Italian and Lusophone records as a given name and surname; in Brazil it is familiar from President Floriano Peixoto. Florian is the usual German, French, and English form, while Florián marks Spanish and several Central European usages.
