Etymology

[edit]

From Spanish florida (flowery), often referring to a place's abundance of flowers. The state's name specifically is a shortening of la Florida (the flowery one) or Pascua Florida (flowery Easter).[1] It is the oldest surviving European-given place-name in the US.[2][1] The village in Orange County, New York was named in the 1760s from Latin flōrida (flowery).[3]
