Thinking about the name
Flo
Latin origin
“A short form of Florence or Flora, both rooted in Latin meanings of 'blooming' and 'flourishing.' Flo is a vintage diminutive that dominated the early-to-mid 20th century with spunky, no-nonsense charm. The name conveys brightness and forward movement in just two syllables.”
