Florian (name) instance of male given name
Florian is a male given name borrowed from the ancient Roman name Florianus. The name is derived from Florus, from Latin flōrus (originally "yellow, blond", later "flowering"), related to flāvus ("yellow, blond"); compare also Romanian flor ("blond, with blond hair").  In spite of that, by popular etymology, it is often linked to flōs ("flower"; genitive singular flōris).
It is the name of a patron saint of Poland and the patron saint of Upper Austria. Florian (or a local equivalent) remains a common name in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, France, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Poland.Variants
