Etymology
[edit]From Spanish florida (“flowery”), often referring to a place's abundance of flowers.
The state's name specifically is a shortening of la Florida (“the flowery one”) or Pascua Florida (“flowery Easter”).[1] It is the oldest surviving European-given place-name in the US.[2][1]
The village in Orange County, New York was named in the 1760s from Latin flōrida (“flowery”).[3]
