Meaning & History

Obscure southern French name probably derived from Latin florescere "to flower; to put forth blooms".

A known bearer is Florestan I, Prince of Monaco (1785 - 1856, born Tancrède Florestan Roger Louis Grimaldi).
Florestan is also a character in Ludwig van Beethoven's opera "Fidelio" (1814).
