Florentia is also used in modern Greece, where they spell it as: Φλωρεντία. The spelling was the same in late Greek times, and the proper transcription for a bearer from those times would be Phlorentia.
It is also worth noting that Florentia is also the modern Greek name for the Italian city of Florence.

I don't mind this name; you don't hear it much in the English language. I assume it's more common in Italy and perhaps Greece? Although this name isn't used in English, it's related to a lot of English names, and names in other Germanic languages as well, such as the male names Florian and Floris, and the female names Flora, Florence, Fleur and Florissa. :)
