About the name
Florence is Latin — florens, "flourishing, blossoming" — the city of the Renaissance and the name of Florence Nightingale, who was named for the city and repaid it with the invention of modern nursing.
Florence has returned to the British top 20 while America lags — the vintage revival's clearest open opportunity, again.
Flo, Florrie, and Wren-adjacent Ren all live inside it. It pairs well with short middles (Florence Mae, Florence Wren). On our vibe map it is Vintage Elegant with Heirloom lamplight and a Whimsical machine (thank you, Florence Welch) in the wings.
