Meaning and background
The story behind Fiore
Fiore has both personal-name and surname history in Italian. The dictionary records a medieval name used for men and women, partly continuing Latin Flos and partly formed later from the Italian word for flower. It also notes the influence of medieval French chivalric naming. That documented floral background gives Fiore more substance than a modern decorative translation, and it can provide a precise story for a dog with a garden-inspired name.
- Origin
- Italian surname from a medieval personal name used for men and women, connected with Latin and Italian flower words. Source
