    Etymology

    The name Flōra descends from Proto-Italic*flōsā ('goddess of flowers'), itself a derivation from Proto-Italic *flōs ('flower'; cf. Latinflōs, flōris 'blossom, flower').

    It is cognate with the Oscan goddess of flowers Fluusa, demonstrating that the cult was known more widely among Italic peoples. The name ultimately derives from Proto-Indo-European*bʰleh₃ōs ('blossoming').
