Florizel

Shakespearean invented name, Latin

"flower"

Florizel Origin and Meaning

The name Florizel is a boy's name meaning "flower".

Shakespeare seems to have coined this name for the Prince of Bohemia in his late tragicomedy The Winter's Tale by drawing inspiration from the Latin floris meaning "flower". It's rarely been used as a name in real life, but we think it has potential. The flowery sound will appeal to parents looking for less conventionally masculine boys names, but the "Z" gives it an edge and cool factor lacking in, say, Florian. Plus, the Shakespeare connection obviously gives it a lot of literary cred.

Also spelled as Florizell in some editions of the Shakespeare play, Florizel has been borne in the real word by the the third Governor-General of Jamaica Sir Florizel Glasspole and by composer, violinist, and psychic Florizel von Reuter.

Fun fact: the long running British TV soap, Coronation Street, was originally named Florizel Street in early versions of the script.
