Meaning & History
Dutch form of Florentinus (for men) and Florentina (for women), but the name is most often encountered on men. It is unisex in the Netherlands, but strictly masculine in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium.This name is not to be confused with the Dutch word Florentijn meaning "Florentine" (as in, an inhabitant of the Italian city of Florence), even though it is etymologically related.A notable bearer of this name is the Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman (b. 1977).
