Flurina is Roman in Origin.

Flurina is a Romansh feminine given name from the canton of Graubünden in Switzerland. It is the female counterpart to Flurin, the Romansh form of Latin Florinus, ultimately from Latin flos/floris “flower” and florere “to bloom,” conveying the sense of “flowering” or “little flower.” The name is closely tied to the cult of Saint Florinus of Remüs (7th century), patron of the Engadine, and has been borne in parish records of Romansh-speaking communities for generations; usage spread modestly within German-speaking Switzerland in the 20th century.

Variants and cognates include Florina (Romanian), Florine (French), Fiorina (Italian), Floriana (Italian/Spanish), and Flora. Masculine forms are Flurin and Florin. Cultural visibility increased through Alois Carigiet’s picture book Flurina und das Wildvögelein (1952), set in the Grisons Alps, which brought the Romansh name to a wider audience.
