Meaning & History
This name is borne by a character in Francisco de Barahona's Flor de caballerías (1599). The name is thought to be derived from Spanish flor de espina "thorn flower; hawthorn flower". It is also used in English translations of Ludovico Ariosto's Orlando furioso (1516), while the name appears as Fiordispina in the Italian original version.
