Meaning & History
Means "let (it) flourish, may (it) prosper, long live" in Latin. This is often used as a motto, or as part of a motto, which may help explain its use as a personal name; for example, a common scholastic motto is floreat nostra schola meaning "may our school flourish". Also compare the Latin phrases vivat crescat floreat "may it live, grow, (and) flourish" and semper floreat "may it always flourish".
