Meaning & History

French form of Floridus (for men) and Florida (for women), but the name is most often encountered on women.

This name is strictly feminine in Italy, where it is a variant form of Florida.

A notable bearer of this name is Floride Calhoun (1792-1866), an American politician's wife who had a leading role in a scandal called the Petticoat affair (1829–1831).
