Fioravante

Machine-translated from the Italian article

Fioravante is an Italian masculine given name. Of literary tradition, it is an Italianization of the French name Floovent (through the Provençal Floriven), whose meaning is very uncertain and widely debated. It is often thought, first of all, that this name may derive from the root fiore ("flower"), but considering the original Floovent, it seems to be a mere folk etymology, although supported by Italian literature itself.
